                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father and Sovereign King, as our lawmakers prepare for 
another chapter in our legislative history, bless those who will be 
leaving us and those who will be coming. Give them wisdom and courage 
for the living of these days.
  May Your gift of wisdom provide them with a guide for the unknown 
way, enabling them to approve things that are excellent. Remind them 
that the most important choices demand the ability to discriminate not 
only good from bad but the best from the better and the good.
  May Your gift of courage empower our Senators to permit their reach 
to exceed their grasp for the glory and honor of Your Name.
  Lord, continue to extend Your mercies to the Members of the Tree of 
Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
