                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who blesses us beyond what we deserve, we place our 
trust in You. Because of You, our future is brighter than we can 
imagine. Thank You for Your unfailing love and compassion, which You 
have shown from long ages past.
  Continue to protect our Nation and world. Lord, give our lawmakers 
the grace to cherish and cultivate the virtues and values that make a 
nation great. Save our Senators from those transgressions that bring 
national ruin. May they keep ever before them Your vision for the 
people they serve and strive to leave the world better than they found 
it.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
