                REV. RICHARD HALVERSON, SENATE CHAPLAIN

  Mr. NICKLES. Madam President, I rise today to congratulate Dr. 
Richard Halverson, who is Chaplain of the Senate. He has been Chaplain 
of the Senate for the last 14 years and has done one outstanding job, I 
think not only as Chaplain but as friend, as mentor, as counselor for 
all Senators, for our staffs, and for our families.
  He has been an outstanding Chaplain of the Senate. As a writer--and 
he has written books that I would certainly encourage our colleagues 
and others to read--as a friend, as a pastor, his service to this body 
has been without equal. His health over the last couple of years has 
deteriorated to some extent, but his spirit is stronger than ever. His 
love for the Members and their families and their staffs and this 
institution is unequaled.
  Certainly we wish him well in his retirement. He has been a real 
friend, and we wish him Godspeed. We thank him very much for the 
service he has given to all Members and to this body as well.
  I yield the floor.
