                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the source of wisdom and might, with renewed powers 
and refreshed spirits, we return to this national Chamber of 
deliberation. We begin our work with the awareness that without You 
nothing of significance can be accomplished. Be the guardian and guide 
of our Senators as they travel the unbeaten path into our national 
future. Grant them wisdom and courage for the living of these days.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
