On the recordMarch 10, 1995
our Senate Chaplain, Dr. Richard C. Halverson, our dear friend, is retiring today and has delivered his last official prayer. He has been a great Chaplain. During his tenure, Dr. Halverson has proved himself over and over again, not only to be a comforting spiritual guide but also a wonderful friend and adviser to the entire Senate family, which includes all of its workers: elevator operators, the police, the pages, the waitresses, the waiters, the electricians. Every conceivable worker has in some way or form felt his influence. His ministering support has been helpful to us immeasurably as we wrestled with difficult personal, political, and policy issues. While he is not a Catholic and I am not a Catholic, it seems to me that the Catholic Church has a title that is befitting Dr. Halverson, and that is 'Father.' He is father of the entire Senate family and we want to wish him well.
