             WELCOME TO DR. WILLIAM HAWKINS, GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. FAIRCLOTH. Mr. President, I am indeed honored and happy to be 
here this morning with my home church preacher. Bill Hawkins has been 
pastor of my church for 10 years now and he has made an outstanding 
impression and done a great job not only for the church membership but 
for the city that we live in as well. He has a wife and two daughters 
and they mean so much to me personally and to the community we live in. 
He is a Virginian, but we do not intend to allow him to leave. We plan 
to keep him in North Carolina and we are honored that he is there. He 
brings the youth and vigor to our church that we so much need. We are 
proud to have him there.
  Bill, thank you.
  I yield the floor.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I add my welcome to the guest Chaplain. He 
did a beautiful job this morning. I know he is going to be very 
dedicated to tending to the needs of the Senator from North Carolina, 
Senator Faircloth.
  We are delighted to have you here.
