                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Spirit, hope of the souls that seek You, strength of the 
souls that find You, accept our praise today. Lord, we thank You for 
the things that cannot be shaken and for the guiding lights of 
spiritual truths that no wind of change can ever blow out. Refresh the 
faith of our Senators that life's tensions may not break their spirits. 
Make them ever faithful to each challenging duty, loyal to every high 
claim, and responsive to the human needs of our suffering world. May 
they face the toils of this day with honest dealing and clear thinking, 
knowing that all faithful service will be rewarded by You.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
