                          GUEST CHAPLAIN ESTEP

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I wish to join with you in welcoming our 
guest Chaplain of the day, Wendell Estep.
  The President pro tempore introduced Pastor Estep as being from South 
Carolina. However, we still consider him a native of Oklahoma. Pastor 
Estep was one of the leading pastors in my State. He led one of the 
largest churches in the State, Council Roads Baptist Church. Before 
that, he was at the First Baptist Church in Pawhuska, OK, which is 
pretty close to my home town of Ponca City. He is really one of the 
most respected leaders we have had in our state, and we still consider 
him an Oklahoman. We are delighted to have him as guest Chaplain and 
very much appreciate his opening our day with a beautiful prayer this 
morning.
  I thank Pastor Estep for joining us.
  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I, too, thank our guest Chaplain for being 
with us today. I know most Senators have been informed that our 
Chaplain, Lloyd John Ogilvie, is doing quite well in his recovery 
period, and we look forward to having him back in the Senate to hear 
his melodious voice and beautiful prayers. In the meantime, we are glad 
to have our guest Chaplain this morning.
