              CONGRATULATIONS TO CARDINAL-DESIGNATE DOLAN

  (Mr. GRIMM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. GRIMM. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to congratulate 
Archbishop Timothy Dolan, who will be elevated to a cardinal in the 
Roman Catholic Church this Saturday. His Holiness, Pope Benedict, could 
not have picked a better man of faith for this prestigious role. 
Archbishop Dolan has dedicated his entire life to serving God and the 
Catholic Church.
  Just 3 years ago, New Yorkers were blessed when the Pope appointed 
him the 10th Archbishop of New York. He has warmed our hearts with his 
big personality and quick wit, and he has strengthened our faith with 
his guidance. On a national level, his leadership has shed positive 
light on the Catholic Church and continues to raise his profile.
  As New Yorkers, we are truly blessed to have Archbishop Dolan lead 
our archdiocese from the pulpit at St. Patrick's Cathedral. We couldn't 
be more proud that he will soon be wearing a red hat and serving as the 
prince of the Catholic Church in the Pope's College of Cardinals.
  Once again, I offer my warm congratulations to Cardinal-Designate 
Dolan and wish him Godspeed in his new role.
