            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.
