Well, in closing, let me just refer to this little Bible my aunt says my uncle received going into World War II from the Federal Government when he went in the Army. It has a metal plate on it. It says: ``May the Lord be with you.'' And I realize this will be the last couple of minutes we're in session this week. So these are the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt on the flyleaf: ``The White House, Washington. As Commander in Chief, I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the Armed Forces of the United States. Throughout the centuries, men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul.'' Franklin Roosevelt had a good idea there. And I will commend that, Mr. Speaker. ____________________
