                      WELCOMING THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. ISAKSON. Mr. President, it is my honor to introduce to the Senate 
Rev. Ron McCrary, who just gave the prayer on the floor of the Senate. 
He is here with Chaplain Black.
  Reverend McCrary is a great individual from my home county, Cobb 
County, GA. He is the chaplain to the Cobb County Board of 
Commissioners, the fourth largest county in Georgia. He is chaplain of 
the Police Officers Standards and Training facility in Georgia, which 
covers 40,000 law enforcement offices. He is a great preacher, a great 
leader, and a great chaplain. He was recommended to me by Sheriff Neil 
Warren, the sheriff of Cobb County, who because of his graciousness 
allowed Ron to come and be with us today.
  Ron is a father, a minister, and a great witness. He witnessed as an 
athlete through the Campus Crusade for Christ and Athletes in Action. 
He witnessed as a pastor by ministering churches. He witnessed to the 
community by delivering great sermons--one of them about voting, in 
honor of Coretta Scott King, delivered in 2006 at the Turner Chapel in 
Marietta, where he empowered everyone to honor Coretta Scott King's 
life's work by making sure they participated in the political system.
  It is an honor and a privilege for me to welcome and host Rev. Ron 
McCrary of Cobb County, GA, and the Cobb County Sheriff's Department.
  I yield the floor.
