                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, thank You for sustaining our Nation from the 
beginning of its existence until this present moment. If You had not 
been with us, we would have been devoured by our enemies. You kept us 
from being overwhelmed by the raging waters of anarchy and the fury of 
pestilences. May the way You have led us in the past make us confident 
about our future.
  Lord, be the helper of our lawmakers. Provide them with the wisdom, 
power, and grace needed for the living of these days.
  Forgive our sins of commission and omission. Remind us that all that 
is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
