                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our faithful Father and Friend, take and use our 
lawmakers for Your glory. Fill them with Your wisdom, enabling them to 
make the tough decisions with complete confidence in Your guidance. 
Keep their lives unstained by any word or action that is unworthy of 
their best. Lord, give them clarity and understanding so that their 
labor will be acceptable to You. May they maintain the fidelity of 
those to whom much has been given and from whom much will be required.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
