                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
our guest Chaplain, Rev. Claude Pomerleau, with the congregation of 
Holy Cross Priests, Portland, OR, and also a Vermonter.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father whose presence is so immediate and mysterious, whose personal 
care brings this planet and the entire universe into existence by Your 
creative Word, may we not lose our capacity for wonder, to listen and 
care for Your creation. It is wisdom and contemplation that allow us to 
read the signs of the times. You put these signs in our hearts through 
music and dance, poetry and prose, arts and sciences. We thank You as 
day begins, and the energies of Your daughters and sons are focused on 
the day's business. Inspire these here assembled with the gifts of 
peace and justice, as Your Word inspires them with courage and 
compassion for all.
  Amen.NOTICE
