                     WELCOMING REVEREND SCOTT EYNON

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. West) 
is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  (Mr. WEST asked and was given permission to revise and extend his 
remarks.)
  Mr. WEST. Mr. Speaker, former Secretary of State William Henry Seward 
said this: ``I do not believe human society, including not merely a few 
persons in any State, but whole masses of men, ever have attained or 
ever can attain a high state of intelligence, virtue, security, 
liberty, or happiness without the Holy Scriptures; even the whole hope 
of human progress is suspended on the ever-growing influence of the 
Bible.''
  Today I'd like to recognize my pastor, Pastor Scott Eynon, and 
Community Christian Church for the service that they give to the 
community of south Florida and for their missionary work in Haiti as 
well as in Africa.
