Mr. Speaker. our guest chaplain this morning is my constituent and friend. August S. Claus. Chaplain Claus was born April 26. 1906. in the Province of Hanover. Germany. He married Maria B. Langner on September 5. 1930. They arrived at New York later that year as immigrants. Pastor and Mrs. Claus served churches in Nebraska until 1936 when they came to California and served churches at Sanger. Biola. and Fresno. Chaplain Claus served as pastor of St. Pauls Lutheran Church in Fresno for 42 years. On a personal note. I must mention that I was baptized by Pastor Claus 37 years ago.
