                  DR. RONNIE W. FLOYD, GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. President, I take a moment to express my 
appreciation to our guest Chaplain, Pastor Ronnie Floyd, Pastor of the 
First Baptist Church, Springdale, AR, who led the Senate in our opening 
prayer today. Chaplain Ogilvie was gracious enough to allow Pastor 
Floyd to lead us in prayer.
  Pastor Floyd has been a dear friend of mine for many years; he has 
had a tremendous impact upon my family and my children. I have a son 
and daughter-in-law who today still worship in his church and have been 
greatly impacted by his ministry. Pastor Floyd has a national 
television ministry and has touched lives all across this country. It 
is a great privilege today to have him in our Nation's Capitol 
ministering to us in the Senate.
  I thank the Chair. I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from New Hampshire.
