                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Lord of this Senate, we firmly believe that it is by Your 
choice and providence that we are here, called to serve You and our 
Nation together.
  Today, we thank You for the strategic role of the Secretary of the 
Senate. Our lives and the ongoing work of the Senate have been deeply 
enriched and immensely enabled by the effective leadership of Sheila 
Burke. Thank You for her commitment to excellence and her loyalty and 
faithfulness to Senator Dole and the ongoing work of the Senate.
  Now Lord, we ask Your blessing on Kelly Johnston as he is installed 
as the new Secretary. We thank You for his talents, experience, and 
gifts that prepare him for this challenging responsibility. We 
gratefully affirm his commitment to You, and the forward movement of 
the process of shaping the future of America through the deliberations 
of this Senate. As he is installed may he experience a fresh anointing 
of the strength of Your spirit and a renewed assurance of the esteem of 
the Senators, officers, and all the staffs that make up the Senate 
family. Thank You Lord for the privilege of working for You, working 
for our beloved Nation and working together in unity. Amen.
