Secretary Thornburgh introduced the Rev. Fred S. Holloman, Topeka, Kansas, who will again serve as the Senate Chaplain and delivered the following invocation: Heavenly Father, Forgive us if we should think we can effectively represent 60,000 people without Your knowledge, Your power, and Your presence. You are omniscient; You know all things; We know relatively little. You are omnipotent; You have all power; We are relatively weak. You are omnipresent; You are always everywhere; We are limited to one place at a time. So don’t let us try to fly solo and forget that You are the Navigator. I pray in the Name of Christ. AMEN Secretary Thornburgh appointed Pat Saville to serve as temporary Secretary of the Senate until such time as a permanent secretary is appointed. Secretary Thornburgh requested the reader to call the roll of the Senate from the certified list of members-elect as submitted by the Secretary of State and recorded in the preorgan- izational meeting of December 6, 2004. Forty members-elect were present. Secretary Thornburgh introduced the Honorable Kay McFarland, Chief Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court, who administered the Oath of Office to the newly elected senators. OATH OF OFFICE STATE OF KANSAS, COUNTY OF SHAWNEE, ss: We, and each of us, do solemnly swear or affirm that we will support the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the state of Kansas, and faithfully discharge the duties of the office of the Senator of the state of Kansas, So help us God.
