                                 prayer

  The Honorable John W. Warner, a Senator from the State of Virginia, 
offered the following prayer:
  In the absence of the Chaplain, it is my privilege to read the 
opening prayer.
  The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the 
still waters.
  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me into the paths of righteousness 
for his name's sake.
  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will 
fear no evil: For Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort 
me.
  Thou preparest a table in front of my enemies: Thou anointest my head 
with oil; my cup runneth over.
  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.--Psalm 23.
  We close by thanking the Lord for guiding us through this most 
unusual weather storm, for those families who are suffering as a 
consequence, and for our troops and others beyond our shores serving in 
the cause of freedom, especially those in Bosnia. Amen.
