               DOING THE BEST WE CAN WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I want to take just one moment, if I may. 
Yesterday, the Chaplain very eloquently asked for God's blessing on our 
Democratic leader in the loss of his father. It indicates that all of 
us are human, and we are here just attempting to do the best we can 
with God's guidance.
  Today, the Democratic leader's father will be laid to rest in his 
home of South Dakota. I hope that all of us will give some thought to 
the leader and his family as they gather to mourn the loss of his 
father.
  I do thank the Chair for allowing me to express my concern for our 
leader, and I know all of us feel basically the same way. I yield the 
floor.
