                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, strong to save, we put our trust in You. Continue to 
be our shelter in the time of storm. Guide our lawmakers. Keep ever 
before them the vision of a better world that is yet to be. May the 
words of their mouths and the meditations of their hearts be pleasing 
to You, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer.
  Lord, give our Senators pure intentions, a steadfast regard for Your 
glory, and a faith that will not shrink, though pressed by many 
challenges.
  We pray, in Your mighty Name. Amen.
