                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Father Thomas A. Kuhn, Church of the Incarnation, 
Centreville, OH, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, we have consistently believed in Your great love for us and 
for our Nation. We know that we are Your children, and in that faith 
have not called ourselves simply a nation, but ``one nation under 
God.''
  The tragedy of recent weeks in Oklahoma City points out the need we 
have to foster Your love in our land. Help us to reflect the love You 
have for us in our lives and in our dealing with others. We know that 
You have a plan for us. We know that You love us. Help us to keep faith 
that You will always be there to guide and direct our great Nation.
  You have blessed all of Your children with the same rights that come 
from calling You our Father. Help us as a nation to work to protect the 
rights of all, for we know when the rights of one of us is in danger, 
the rights of all are in danger.
  You have blessed us with a beautiful land. Help us to preserve it so 
the generations after us may enjoy it as we have.
  We know that some of Your children, particularly the aged, the sick, 
the poor, and the very young, are in need of help and protection. Give 
us the insight as a people to always protect those who cannot care for 
themselves.
  Father, we pray in a special way for our Senators. Give each of them 
a parochial, a national, and a world vision, so they may lead us safely 
in Your kingdom.
  Mr. GLENN. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. DeWine). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
