                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, Sovereign of our Nation, You led our forefathers to declare 
in our Constitution that the function of government is to establish 
justice, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of 
liberty for our people. We are here in this Senate to preserve our 
people's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Today, 
we continue the discussion of the growing problem of violence and 
terrorism in our land that threatens these very blessings. The spirit 
of fear is rampant as a result of those who perpetrate acts of 
violence. Empower the Senators as they take incisive action to 
establish stronger laws to combat the illusive and dangerous forces of 
organized terrorism. Help them to strengthen the methods of 
investigation, apprehension, and punishment of those who willfully 
cause suffering through treasonous acts of terrorism against the 
Government.
  Today, as we move forward to act decisively on this antiterrorism 
legislation, we all praise You that You do not allow the violent to 
triumph. In Your holy name. Amen.
