             A CONSTANT GOOD EXAMPLE--DR. RICHARD HALVERSON

  Mr. CHAFEE. Mr. President, I think the words that we ``celebrate the 
life of Richard Halverson'' are appropriate. Richard Halverson, as has 
been pointed out, served as Chaplain here for 16 years.
  As has been mentioned, he did not restrict his duties to just the 
opening prayer. He came to see us when we had difficulties. He was a 
constant mentor, as has previously been suggested, and a constant good 
example. He epitomized what leading the Christian life is all about.
  So we have been blessed to have known him. His life is one we all 
should celebrate and try to emulate to the greatest extent possible. So 
to all of his family, we send our very best wishes at this extremely 
difficult time, and our deepest condolences.

  Mr. KEMPTHORNE addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho [Mr. Kempthorne] is 
recognized.
