                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, it is with great pleasure that I welcome 
an old friend and very distinguished Oregonian to the Senate this 
morning to open the Senate Chamber with prayer, the Reverend Cliff 
Stewart, who, as it has been noted, has been the pastor of St. Francis 
of Assisi Episcopal Church in Wilsonville, OR. He is accompanied today 
by his wife, Eleanor, and by his son, Bob.
  Mr. President, our friendship goes back over 50 years, when we 
attended Willamette University together and belonged to the same 
fraternity. I would like to say even in those days there were those 
upperclassmen who set the pace, who set the standard, who were the role 
models--and Cliff Stewart was one such person. In everything moral, in 
everything upright, in everything noble, he served as that kind of role 
model for all of us in that fraternity.
  After 34 years as a distinguished member of an accounting firm, one 
of the six largest in the country, he retired and started teaching at 
Lewis and Clark College, and then was called into the ministry. He 
attended seminary and was ordained in 1989, and he has since been a 
minister and pastor to this particular congregation. He considers his 
ministry is an outreach serving the poor, the weak, the sick, and the 
lonely. I think we might all qualify here in this body this morning for 
the benefit of his prayer.
  I thank the Chair.
