                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. VOINOVICH. Madam President, I thank the majority leader for the 
hospitality he extended to Rev. Glen W. Warner. I have had the pleasure 
of knowing Reverend Warner for many years. He is a remarkable person 
who has a distinguished record of service to his community in northeast 
Ohio in two vocations--as a spiritual leader of the Second 
Congregational Church and a leader in his family's business, the Molded 
Fiber Glass Companies, which is one of the area's leading employers.
  I have been very impressed over the years that he has been so 
successful in both of these very different careers. He has ministered 
to people's spiritual and temporal needs and he has made a real 
difference in the community.
  Reverend Warner has volunteered for several community organizations 
including serving on the board of the Ashtabula Foundation.
  His church is the one in which Reverend Warner and his wife, Nancy, 
who joins him today were married. In his business career, Reverend 
Warner travels throughout North America and Europe to develop new 
markets and new products for the company which was founded by his 
father-in-law, Robert S. Morrison.
  Reverend Glen Warner is a wonderful role model for anyone, and his 
unique, dual-career underscores the fact that one can be successful in 
business and in serving the Lord. That one can exercise his spiritual 
purpose in the realm of his secular responsibility in the great 
tradition of the English parliamentarian and leader, William 
Wilburforce.
  I am so happy that his wife, Nancy, and his granddaughter Tyra Miller 
and her friend Keisha Gilbert joined Reverend Warner in the Chamber 
today as he led the opening prayer at today's session of the United 
States Senate.
  Reverend Glen Warner is a good friend and I am proud to have him here 
as the guest Chaplain. I encourage Members of the Senate, as they come 
to the Chamber, if they get a chance, to meet Reverend Warner. He is 
truly an inspiration.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Texas.
