                GUEST CHAPLAIN BISHOP PHILLIP H. PORTER

  Mr. ALLARD. First of all, Mr. President, I want to thank the guest 
Chaplain this morning for being with us here in the U.S. Senate and 
leading off the session in prayer.
  It is a particular honor for me to be here since I am from the State 
of Colorado and he is also from the State of Colorado. It is a good 
thing he is here. It is a good thing that he is chairman of the board 
of Promise Keepers. It is a good thing he is becoming a leader in this 
country in talking about those things that are so very important, I 
think, to this country. It is a good thing he is talking about 
civility. It is a good thing he is talking about kindness. It is a good 
thing that he is talking about the integrity and how important 
integrity is to this country. It is a good thing that he is talking 
about the freedoms and what this country is all about. I particularly 
feel it is a good thing he is putting out so much effort to reconcile 
men through discipleship in the Lord.
  I just wanted to take a few moments this morning to recognize him for 
his effort on behalf of all of us. I just want to wish the very best 
this week with Promise Keepers.
