WELCOMING THE GUEST CHAPLAIN DR. GEORGE DILLARD
Mr. CHAMBLISS. Madam President, I rise today to welcome my friend and
fellow Georgian, Dr. George Dillard--who is the senior minister at the
Peachtree City Christian Church in Peachtree City, GA--as he prayed so
eloquently, as is our tradition here in the Senate. I am very pleased
Dr. Dillard had a chance to come join us today.
He and his wife Renee have been married for 26 years and have three
children: Tiffany, Alexis, and Stewart. I appreciate them sharing him
with us today.
George has been my dear friend for many years. I have had the
opportunity to pray with him in public, pray with him in private, and
hear him preach in his church. He is a very eloquent individual and
such a great Christian public servant in that he is so active not just
in the Peachtree City Christian Church but all over the community of
Peachtree City. He has been the guest Chaplain across the Capitol with
our neighbors, the House of Representatives, on a couple of occasions.
He regularly is the guest pastor in the Georgia Legislature under the
gold dome in Atlanta. I am very pleased he is here today. I thank him
for taking time to join us and for his well-spoken words getting us
started in the Senate today.
I yield the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Georgia.
Mr. ISAKSON. Madam President, I wish to join the senior Senator from
Georgia, who was kind enough to invite our guest Chaplain today.
George Dillard is a great chaplain in our State, a great civic
leader, a great Christian leader, and a great leader in our State for
many other things. He has been a dynamic chaplain in his church, a
dynamic minister, and has his doctorate in biblical studies. We are
delighted to welcome him to Washington, DC, where we need all the
biblical help we can get. We appreciate George Dillard for his prayer,
his devotion, and his faith.
I yield back.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
Ms. LANDRIEU. I ask unanimous consent to speak immediately after the
vote for 10 minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
Without objection, it is so ordered.
