                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, Your loving kindness draws us to You. Your 
faithfulness opens our hearts before You, and Your omniscience 
motivates us to seek wisdom from You. We know that it is in a 
relationship of complete trust in You that revelation of Your will is 
released. You have called the women and men of this Senate to give 
dynamic leadership in a troubled, contentious, strife-filled world. 
National problems pile up and international issues intensify. 
Especially, we ask for Your guidance in the continuing discussion and 
vote on the antiterrorism legislation and for direction for the extent 
of our Nation's involvement in the crises in Bosnia. Grant the Senators 
a special gift of sagacity and strength.
  May we all press on to the challenges of this week with the grateful 
memory of the decisive and visionary leadership of Margaret Chase 
Smith. Thank you, Father, for her life and courage. We seek to live 
this day with the same measure of devotion to You and commitment to 
excellence that she exemplified. So, today we will attempt great things 
for You and humbly receive great power from You. In Your holy name. 
Amen.
