                       WELCOMING REV. GENE MILLS

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. 
Scalise) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SCALISE. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend, Pastor Gene 
Mills, for opening us up in prayer today.
  I have had the privilege of working with Gene Mills for years now in 
his role as the head of the Louisiana Family Forum, which has been a 
beacon of light defending family values throughout our State and 
working with ministers all across the country to spread the good word 
of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  I also want to commend Pastor Mills for the work that he did after 
Katrina, organizing faith-based groups all around the State and all 
around the country to go in and do the Lord's work. When government 
couldn't even get there to help people, the pastors and the faith-based 
organizations around this country came together and they got that work 
done.
  So I want to thank Gene Mills for being with us here today and for 
leading us in prayer.
