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.
