                      WELCOMING THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, it is with great pleasure and pride that I 
rise to recognize and welcome the guest Chaplain for the Senate today, 
Pastor Brian Severin, who is the pastor of Victory Christian Fellowship 
Church, Greeley, CO.
  Pastor Severin has served in the full-time ministry for 23 years. He 
was born and raised in northeastern Colorado before attending and 
graduating from the University of Northern Colorado, which is also 
located in Greeley.
  Prior to coming to Greeley 6 years ago to minister to Victory 
Christian, he was the founding pastor for Church Alive in Sterling, CO, 
and served as pastor to New Life Fellowship in Yuma, CO.
  He is joined today by his wife of 27 years, Joslyn Severin, along 
with 14 members of his congregation. My colleagues and I very much 
appreciate Pastor Severin taking time away from his duties in Colorado 
to help guide us through our deliberations today in the Senate.
  May Pastor Severin's words of inspiration this morning make us wiser 
and kinder to each other as we go about conducting the people's 
business today.
  I yield the floor.
