I did a quick google search and came up with this :

There is congressional action taking place in Washington to protest proposed Air Force guidelines that would have the effect of banning Christian military chaplains from praying in Jesus’ name during certain ceremonies.

The Air Force guidelines were introduced in early August. Since then, over 35 congressional representatives, led by Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.), have signed a request that President Bush issue an executive order to allow them to pray. Such orders carry the force of law, and are effective unless they are overturned by Congress or the courts.

And this

He [Rep. Walter B. Jones, N.C. (R)]cited a letter from one Army chaplain who said it was made clear in his chaplain training course that it is offensive and against Army policy to publicly pray in the name of Jesus, and he later was rebuked for doing so. "Much to my great shame, there have been times when I did not pray in my Savior's name," the chaplain wrote. Mr. Jones cited similar complaints from the Marine Corps and Navy.

All seem to refer to AirForce "Guidelines," with Rep. Jones leading the crusade.
