                      THE GUEST CHAPLAIN'S PRAYER

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I, too, would like to join in extending my

thanks to Dr. Neal Jones, and to express my appreciation to him for 
what he has meant in my own life and my family's life.
  He was a pastor at Columbia Baptist Church. My family and I attended 
there during the years that our children were in their teens, and it 
was a wonderful experience. As a matter of fact, he baptized our 
daughter, our son, and even my wife. So I have a special feeling in my 
heart for that church and for the pastor. We are delighted to have you 
here today.
  I, too, want to thank you for those little messages that I get at 
critical times in my life. Sometimes I am under certain pressure, and 
Dr. Jones seems to sense it. But he has a wonderful message always at 
the end: ``No response necessary.''
  Thank you, Dr. Jones, for all you do.
