Ms. McCollum: Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H. Res. 1185, a resolution congratulating Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin on his tenth year of service as Chaplain of the House of Representatives.

Reverend Coughlin was sworn in as the 59th Chaplain of the House of Representatives on March 23, 2000 - the first person of Roman Catholic faith to hold the office. In his decade of service, he has opened House proceedings with prayer, provided pastoral counseling and arranged memorial services for the House and its staff.

Over the years I have come to know Reverend Coughlin and value his service to the House of Representatives. This resolution is a fitting honor, and I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating Reverend Coughlin for his decade of faithful service.
