                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O mighty God before whom the generations rise and pass away, watch 
over America and use our Senators to keep it strong and good. Imprint 
upon their hearts such reverence for You that they will be ashamed and 
afraid to offend You. Remind them that their thoughts, words, and deeds 
are under divine scrutiny. Bless the many others who work faithfully on 
Capitol Hill and whose labors bring dignity and efficiency to the 
legislative process.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
