                              THE CHAPLAIN

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I just had a brief conversation with the 
Chaplain, who came down to wish me well on my return. He indicated he 
was going to do a special prayer this afternoon for the Senate in this 
time of crisis. I am always aware of how he looks out for us 
spiritually. The prayer is for Democrats, Republicans--all of us. His 
prayers are very heart-warming. Not only is he our chaplain, but he is 
a retired admiral in the U.S. Navy. He has been all over the world in 
that capacity. We appreciate him very much. We don't acknowledge him as 
often as we should. I appreciate how he is always available and so kind 
and thoughtful to everyone.
