                      WELCOMING THE GUEST CHAPLAIN

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, it is a great honor for me to be able to 
welcome to the Senate today our pastor from Sioux Falls, SD, Jeff 
Wheeler, who just offered our invocation this morning, and to express 
how much Kimberley and I have appreciated the opportunity to worship 
and to benefit from his ministry. We enjoy and are blessed by his 
teaching each and every single week when we are back home in South 
Dakota. His ministry has and continues to impact people all across our 
community, across our State, and across our region.
  He and his wife Shirlene are with us today in the Senate, and on 
behalf of myself and my colleagues, we extend the warmest welcome and 
appreciate the great work he does in serving the Lord in South Dakota 
and across our country.
  Thank you, Mr. President.
