                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who made the light to shine in the darkness, shine now 
in our hearts. Forgive us for our transgressions in thoughts, words, 
and deeds, as You cleanse us from all sin.
  We thank You for Your many blessings, for music and laughter and 
poetry and color.
  Lord, strengthen our Senators. Provide them with help in times of 
need, power for moments of weakness, and hope for the years to come. 
Lift our lawmakers above suspicion and fears so that they will be Your 
ambassadors of peace to our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
