                   WELCOME TO FORMER CHAPLAIN OGILVIE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, as the distinguished majority leader and I 
stood in the aisle, as soon as Reverend Ogilvie finished his prayer, 
the Republican leader leaned over to me and said, how about that voice, 
or words to that effect. Those were the exact memories I have of Dr. 
Ogilvie. I spent 5 years listening to his prayers every morning. As a 
result of that, I felt it was a good way to start the day. It brought 
back so many memories of our time together.
  It seems that one of the requirements, at least with the last two 
chaplains we have had, is the voice. Dr. Black and Dr. Ogilvie have two 
of the finest voices I have ever heard and each time I hear them say 
something I become so envious that I have my voice and they have 
theirs.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader.
  Mr. FRIST. Madam President, the Democratic leader is exactly right. 
That was our first comment. What is even more embarrassing is when you 
are side by side with either Lloyd Ogilvie or Chaplain Black and you 
have to sing, because their voices are so powerful, which does mean so 
much to us in terms of expressing feelings, emotion, and values. When 
it is applied to the beautiful voice of singing, it is especially 
embarrassing to me as they are next to me because the contrast is so 
dramatic.
  It is a great pleasure for all of us to welcome Lloyd Ogilvie back 
with us this morning to open today with a prayer that struck at what we 
have seen the last couple of days, but also the real responsibility and 
obligations we have as Members of the Senate. We have been blessed with 
chaplains such as Chaplain Black and Chaplain Ogilvie to serve us and 
the American people so selflessly and unselfishly during our tenure.
