         ADMINISTRATION OF OATH TO THE SECRETARY OF THE SENATE

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Secretary of the Senate will be 
escorted to the desk for the oath of office.
  The Honorable Kelly D. Johnston, escorted by the Honorable Sheila 
Burke, advanced to the desk of the President pro tempore; the oath 
prescribed by law was administered to him by the President pro tempore.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. You are now Secretary of the Senate.
  [Applause, Senators rising.]
  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, one, I wish to congratulate Kelly 
Johnston for now being named and appointed Secretary of the Senate.
  I have had the privilege of knowing Kelly Johnston for several years. 
He is an outstanding individual. I have had, indeed, the honor of 
having him be the executive director of the Republican Policy Committee 
for the last 3 years, where he did an outstanding job in serving all 
Republican Senators.
  Now as Secretary of the Senate, I am confident he will do an 
outstanding job serving the entire family of the Senate.
  It gives me a great deal of pleasure not only to recommend Kelly 
Johnston for this position, but to see that he is now Secretary of the 
Senate.
  Mr. President, I also acknowledge that his family is here, most of 
whom are from Oklahoma. We are delighted to have them join us as well, 
his wife Adrienne and his parents. They, indeed, I know, are very, very 
proud of Kelly Johnston for his service and for his selection for this 
position.
  I would also like to compliment Sheila Burke for her service as 
Secretary of the Senate and also as chief of staff to the majority 
leader. She had two very big jobs and she has carried them out 
exceptionally well, and I compliment her.
