                   REV. JAMES LUPTON, GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. BUMPERS. Mr. President, this morning's prayer was offered by the 
Reverend James Lupton. Reverend Lupton retired in May 1997 after eight 
years at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Stuttgart, AR.
  During this ministry in Stuttgart, Reverend Lupton also served the 
people of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Tollville, AR. Prior to that, 
he served for four years in a Texas ministry.
  Reverend Lupton received his call to the ministry later in life after 
a twenty-five year career as an architect. James comes from a long line 
of Arkansans. His mother's family was one of the first pioneer families 
to settle in Arkansas, coming to the state with Arkansas' first 
Governor, James Sevier Conway.
  I am pleased that this individual with deep roots in my state was 
given the opportunity to offer today's prayer. We thank him for his 
inspiration.
