                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray:
  Almighty God, Sovereign of this Nation, we praise You for Your 
providential care through the years of our blessed history as a people. 
Thank You that this Senate exemplifies that patriotism has not gone out 
of style. Our commitment to You is expressed in love and loyalty for 
our land. The sight of our flag still stirs our dedication, the 
national anthem fires our blood, and the Constitution keeps us rooted 
and grounded in truth. May we never forget the sacrifice of those who 
have fought and died for the American dream; may we never become so 
self-serving that we side-step the cost of courageous leadership.
  Lord, empower the women and men of this Senate as they seek to keep 
their eyes on You and what ultimately is best for our Nation. Guide and 
direct the leadership of Senators Dole and Daschle as they seek ways 
for both parties to work toward creative solutions to the crucial 
issues before them today.
  Bless the President and First Lady of our land, the House of 
Representatives, the Justices, and all who seek Your guidance in the 
government of the cities and States across our country. God, bless 
America. We trust in You. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen.
