I simply want to extend thanks to Senator Mikulski and you and any others involved in this selection. Here is a man who is qualified to do so many different things. There aren't many people who can be referred to as 'doctor,' 'chaplain,' 'admiral,' but Dr. Black can be, because he is all three and probably a lot more. So I think, even though so much goes unsaid around here, this is something that should be said. This is a great addition to the Senate family. I, on behalf of the entire Senate, extend my appreciation to you and Senator Mikulski, who was so enthused about this man when she told us who the chaplain was going to be.
