I appreciate very much the prayer of the Chaplain today mentioning Jim Ziglar. When he came to the Senate he had been a long-time friend of the majority leader, Senator Lott. A lot of us were somewhat anxious that he would be an extreme partisan. Senator Lott did very well in choosing Jim Ziglar. Jim Ziglar has a brilliant mind. He has an outstanding law school record. And he served as a clerk in the U.S. Supreme Court to Justice Blackmun. He was in the private sector where he did extremely well. As Sergeant at Arms, he was an exemplary member of the Senate family. I know that as the leader of the Immigration and Naturalization Service he will bring vigor and intelligence and responsibility to that most important office. So I appreciate very much the prayer of the Chaplain today mentioning Jim Ziglar, who has become a friend to all of us.
