                      WELCOMING REVEREND CAL LeMON

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. 
Long) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, one of the privileges we have as Members of 
Congress is to have the leader of a church back home deliver the 
opening prayer for the United States House of Representatives.
  Today, I am proud to introduce America to a friend of mine, the 
Reverend Doctor Cal LeMon. Reverend LeMon is an ordained elder at First 
and Calvary Presbyterian Church in Springfield, Missouri, where he 
regularly preaches and teaches in a historic house of worship.
  He is the president of Executive Enrichment, Inc., a corporate 
education and consulting firm, assisting organizations to become more 
productive through effective leadership. He is also a writer and 
regularly contributes to the Society for Human Resources magazine, 
Employment Relations Today, and the opinion page of USA Today.
  Like many members of the clergy, the Reverend Cal LeMon is an 
important voice in our community. Reverend LeMon is and has been a 
tremendous spiritual influence on my family and me.
  He has a heart for his country and for each and every one of us. I am 
honored to welcome him here to Congress.
