                   APPRECIATION TO MSGR. PETER VAGHI

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise to thank Msgr. Peter Vaghi for 
leading the Senate in prayer this morning and to tell the Senate that 
Reverend Vaghi and I have been friends for a long time. We met in a 
casual way, as commuters on a train. A few years after that, Father 
Vaghi decided to continue his education and to seek to be a priest, 
and, for three summers, while he was getting educated, I had the luxury 
and privilege of having him work summers in my office.
  I found him to be an extraordinary human being. As I saw his 
extraordinary qualities then, I am privileged, from a distance, to 
watch those extraordinary qualities develop as he attempts in his 
ministry to lead people in the way of the Lord. I am very grateful that 
he chose to come today, and I thank our Chaplain for inviting him.
  I yield the floor.
