                  DR. JAMES D. MILLER, GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I was very honored to have the opening 
prayer given by my pastor in Tulsa, OK--a church where my wife, who is 
present today, and I were married 41 years ago--when he was a very 
small baby, I might add. It is kind of unique, Mr. President. You know 
Oklahoma quite well. Oklahoma wasn't even a State until 1907, and yet 
the First Presbyterian Church started in 1885. For the first 15 years, 
the congregation was made up entirely of Cree Indian. It is an unusual 
type of church. I might also add that in all those years--that would be 
what, 115 years--there have only been six pastors of the First 
Presbyterian Church of Tulsa. Dr. Jim Miller is the sixth pastor. So 
once they come, they do not want to leave.
  We are honored also to have with us his wife Diana and two of his 
children, David and Courtney, who are in attendance with my wife.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The distinguished Senator from Nevada is 
recognized.
  Mr. REID. I also enjoyed the prayer.
