                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, with gratitude, we remember that it was 136 years ago, on 
March 3, that Congress approved Treasury Secretary Solomon P. Chase's 
instruction to the United States Mint to inscribe coins with the new 
motto, ``In God We Trust.'' We see this motto every day on the wall of 
this Senate Chamber. We pray that it will be the daily, hourly 
expression of our dependence on You. We place absolute and undoubting 
trust in You, Your love, Your providential care, and Your justice and 
mercy. We have a great need for You, Almighty God, and You are a great 
God for our needs. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
