                  ORDER FOR PRINTING OF SENATE PRAYER

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the prayer 
delivered by our Senate Chaplain on Thursday, July 1, when the Senate 
gathered to remember Senator Robert C. Byrd, be printed in the Record 
and as a part of the memorial book of Senate tributes.
  There being no objection, the prayer was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                   Prayer for Senator Robert C. Byrd

            (By Dr. Barry C. Black, Thursday, July 1, 2010)

       Let us pray.
       God our refuge and strength, close at hand in distress and 
     giver of all comforts, we thank You for giving us the gift of 
     Senator Robert Carlyle Byrd. Lord, we appreciate his wit and 
     wisdom, his stories and music, as well as his indefatigable 
     commitment to the principles of freedom that make America 
     great. Thank You for blessing us with his passion for history 
     and his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom in his 
     quest to keep our Nation strong. Deal graciously with all who 
     mourn, that, casting every care on You, we may know the 
     consolation of Your love.
       Lord, comfort Mona and Marjorie and all of Senator Byrd's 
     loved ones, dispelling their fears with Your love, easing 
     their loneliness with Your presence, and renewing their hopes 
     with Your promises.
       In Your mercy turn the darkness of death into the dawn of 
     new life, and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven.
       We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.

  Mr. REID. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
