                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, through all generations You have been the source of our hope 
and strength. We are astounded by the majesty of Your sovereignty, for 
a thousand years for You are like a few hours. Today, inspire our 
lawmakers to think Your thoughts and follow Your precepts, seeking 
always to be receptive to Your guidance. May they strive to reach 
agreement on critical issues rather than simply to win debates. As they 
march to the drumbeat of Your leading, strengthen them with Your 
powerful presence. May they trust You to bring unity within their 
diversity.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
