                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mrs. BOXER. Madam President, I am so delighted today to welcome 
Reverend Jackson to our Senate family. Senator Feinstein and I are so 
very proud of him and of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church 
of Los Angeles. Anyone who has visited the First African Methodist 
Episcopal Church of Los Angeles comes away uplifted and comes away in 
many ways a changed person. It is an ecumenical experience, if I might 
say that, because what the Reverend said today is what guides that 
church--that all of us should be righteous and seek justice and seek 
the truth. Of course, if we did that every day in this Senate and 
justice prevailed and truth prevailed and righteousness prevailed, this 
country would be on the best course.
  I thank him from the bottom of my heart for that message which he 
gave us so quickly, but it is a very deep message which I hope we will 
all take to heart.
  Welcome, Reverend Jackson.
  Thank you, Madam President. I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Nevada.
