                           THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, I pause for a moment to pay tribute and 
welcome Rev. Henry Holley, our Chaplain of the day. It is a special 
occasion for me because this is personal. I have known Henry Holley for 
30 years, his beautiful wife Betty and his daughter Debbie, who are 
with us today. I have known him in many ways. I would like the Senate 
to know, first of all, that this is a U.S. marine. For 22 years, he 
served the United States of America in the Marine Corps and retired in 
1966, upon which time he joined the Billy Graham organization and for 
the last 40 years has traveled 12 million miles to countries around the 
world. He leads now the Graham evangelical organization throughout the 
Pacific rim. His reach is so important that it is countless millions of 
people. One evening in 1990, in Hong Kong, Dr. Henry Holley and Dr. 
Graham preached the Gospel to more than 100,000 people in Asia.
  But he has a special reach. He has a reach around the corner and 
around the world. Just about any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday in 
Marietta, GA, at the Caribou Coffeehouse, which has been renamed the 
Caribou Cathedral, Henry holds court with countless individuals in our 
community, celebrating the joy of our life and the belief of his faith. 
And this Friday or Saturday he takes off again on his third trip, third 
trip to Korea and to China--this year. He will travel, before this year 
is out, probably a quarter of a million miles to countries around the 
world. He probably knows more leaders of business and politics, of 
Government and of religion than any single individual in the United 
States of America.
  It is an honor and a privilege for me to introduce him to the Senate, 
but it is a greater privilege to know him as a friend, a pastor, and a 
mentor.
