Our Heavenly Father, we pause to

give thanks and acknowledge our Creator on this day. We are reminded on

ever thankful for the men and women

We pray on this day for our President, Vice President, and leaders of

Congress, that You would endow them

WELCOME TO THE REVEREND

DWIGHT ‘‘IKE’’ REIGHARD

(Mr. GINGRICH asked and was given

permission to address the House for 1

minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. GINGRICH. Mr. Speaker, I simply want to take a minute to recognize

my pastor, Ike Reighard, who I think

has combined the eternal teachings and

wisdom of the Bible with the realities

of modern life in such a way that I

find, at least, and my wife Marian

would agree, that he is one of the most

honor to us to have him here.

New Hope Baptist Church is a tremendous institution with a very strong

commitment to outreach and to evangelism. On my behalf, I appreciate very

much the House allowing him to lead

us in prayer today.

permission to address the House for 1

minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. HANSEN. Mr. Speaker, today is

a historic time for the State of Utah.

In our great State out in the West, we

have been told that we can put three

different areas into wilderness. One is

Forest Service, one is park, and one is

Bureau of Land Management.

In 1984 Ronald Reagan signed the wilderness bill for Forest Service, and it

was a historic time. We preserved in

the State of Utah some of the most

beautiful, pristine areas that the people in the world have seen, and people

come from all over the world to see

this glorious area that will now be

untrammeled by man, as if man was

never there, as if you were the first

person God put on Earth, and you can
