                 WELCOMING REVEREND GUILLERMO MALDONADO

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Diaz-
Balart) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. DIAZ-BALART. Mr. Speaker, today we have just heard the words of 
Pastor Guillermo Maldonado. We are honored to have him as our guest 
chaplain in the House.
  Pastor Maldonado is the founder and senior pastor of King Jesus 
International Ministry in Miami. His ministry, Mr. Speaker, is one of 
the fastest-growing multicultural churches in the United States and is 
recognized as the largest Hispanic church in the entire Nation.
  Pastor Maldonado, by the way, along with his family, has demonstrated 
unsurpassed leadership and dedication not only to his local ministry 
but to communities and ministries across the Nation. He and his lovely 
wife, Ana, are dear friends of mine and my family who I trust and I 
greatly admire. So again, we are truly blessed to benefit from his 
spiritual wisdom and his guidance.
