                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, let the moments and hours of this day reverberate with 
the sounds of Your unfolding providence. May our Senators hear You 
working throughout their deliberations, transforming the discordant 
into the harmonious. May Your unseen presence enable them to discern 
the direction that they should take, as they seek to heed Your 
instructions and follow Your commands. As they fellowship with You, 
give them discomfort with easy answers, half truths, and superficial 
relationships. Lord, inspire them to believe that they can make a 
difference in this world.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
