                               JIM ZIGLAR

  Mr. REID. I would just say, Madam President, quickly, that I 
appreciate very much the prayer of the Chaplain today mentioning Jim 
Ziglar. When he came to the Senate he had been a long-time friend of 
the majority leader, Senator Lott. A lot of us were somewhat anxious 
that he would be an extreme partisan. Senator Lott did very well in 
choosing Jim Ziglar.
  Jim Ziglar has a brilliant mind. He has an outstanding law school 
record. And he served as a clerk in the U.S. Supreme Court to Justice 
Blackmun. He was in the private sector where he did extremely well. As 
Sergeant at Arms, he was an exemplary member of the Senate family. I 
know that as the leader of the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
he will bring vigor and intelligence and responsibility to that most 
important office.
  So I appreciate very much the prayer of the Chaplain today mentioning 
Jim Ziglar, who has become a friend to all of us.
