                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Holy Father, we join with Americans across our land in the 
celebration of National Police Week. We gratefully remember those who 
lost their lives in the line of duty. Particularly, we honor the memory 
of our own officers in the United States Capitol Police: Sergeant 
Christopher Eney on August 24, 1984, Officer Jacob Chestnut and 
Detective John W. Gibson on July 24, 1998. Thank You for their valor 
and heroism. Continue to bless their families as they endure the loss 
of these fine men.
  May this be a time for all of us in the Senate family to express our 
profound appreciation for all of the police officers and detectives who 
serve here in the Senate. They do so much to maintain safety and order, 
knowing that, at any moment, their lives may be in danger. Help us to 
put our gratitude into words and actions of affirmation. May we take no 
one for granted.
  Now we dedicate this day to You. Bless the Senators as they confront 
issues with Your divinely endowed wisdom and vision. Through our Lord 
and Saviour. Amen.
