                   WELCOME BACK TO REVEREND OGILIVIE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, it is very good to have back Reverend 
Ogilivie, our former Senate Chaplain. A lot of thoughts came to my 
mind. I sat here for 6 years and listened to almost every one of his 
prayers. My mind goes back to some of the tragedies that had come to 
the Senate during his tenure, including the death of Governor Carnahan, 
the death of Paul Wellstone, and the death of Paul Coverdell. I mention 
Paul Coverdell because I traveled to his funeral in Georgia, and the 
Chaplain at that time, Chaplain Ogilivie, delivered the eulogy and was 
in charge of the services there in Georgia. I will always remember the 
dignity, compassion, and the understanding in the words of Reverend 
Ogilivie. It is good to have you back. Thank you very much for all you 
do for our country. I am sure you are doing good things in California, 
as you did here for so many years.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, if the majority leader will allow me an 
observation about Dr. Ogilivie and his extraordinary service to this 
body and to the Nation, it was truly exemplary. I know I speak for all 
of the Members on this side of the aisle when I say to Dr. Ogilivie, 
thank you for your years of service here. It is wonderful to see you 
again.
