                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, in this quiet moment, may a holy hush come over us, giving us 
a sense of our dependence on You. May our Senators not trust too much 
in their abilities to solve problems and meet challenges but continue 
to seek the eternal and transcendent resources You offer to people of 
faith.
  Lord, give our lawmakers humble and contrite hearts, that they may be 
channels of light and truth. Uphold them with Your everlasting and 
uplifting arms. May they persevere with integrity so that they may be 
presented holy and unblameable in Your sight. Keep our Senators calm 
and filled with faith in spite of all they must face.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
