                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, our refuge and strength, stay close to our 
Senators. As they labor for liberty, give them the grace of Your 
presence. Assist them in their work so that their thoughts, words, and 
deeds will be acceptable to You. Give them pure hearts, devoted to You 
and ever seeking Your glory. May they not tire in well-doing, knowing 
that a wonderful harvest is certain if they persevere. Lord, inspire 
them to press on with today's duties with hope in their hearts.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
