                     THE REVEREND BARBARA D. HENRY

    
    
  Mr. HATFIELD. Mr. President, I would like to take this moment to 
thank our chaplain for the day, the Reverend Barbara Henry, who has 
opened the Senate with prayer.
  We are very honored to have Reverend Henry in this role. She is a 
person of great distinction and background in her educational 
experience--Boston University and the University of Pittsburgh in 
music, and also a graduate of the General Theological Seminary of the 
Episcopal Church of America in New York.
  Reverend Henry has not only served as a pastor in a parish, two of 
them here in Washington, DC--St. John's Episcopal Church in Georgetown 
and as assistant rector at St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal 
Church in Washington--she has divided her ministry between the parish 
and in music education and in music library work, especially.
  She is now serving at Catholic University of America here in 
Washington, where she is the head music librarian and is carrying out 
her other ministry within the region of Washington.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a more detailed resume of 
her outstanding ministry be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the resume was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:
