                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. HAGEL. Mr. President, I want to briefly recognize the 
distinguished guest Chaplain this morning from Omaha, NE. Reverend 
Longbottom is a very important part of our community in Nebraska. His 
spiritual guidance, his involvement in so many civic activities has set 
him apart over the years, in part because he is one of those 
individuals who actually gets down into the universe of areas of 
concern and applies the spiritual to the practical. For that, our State 
has benefited greatly. I also wish to recognize Reverend Longbottom's 
wife Lori who accompanied him to Washington as well. We in Nebraska are 
very proud of the Longbottoms. I am very proud to say a few words about 
him. I particularly appreciated the President pro tempore allowing me 
to open the Senate to recognize my constituent and friend, Reverend 
Longbottom.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Missouri is recognized.
