                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord and Ruler, Your Name is great, and we see Your glory in the 
Heavens. We are grateful for this Nation and for the deliberative 
process of lawmaking, with its challenges and opportunities. As our 
Senators debate the issues that are vital to our freedom, give them 
wisdom, integrity, and courage. Lord, let them be fully persuaded in 
their minds about the course that will best bless America. Deliver them 
from a reluctance to respect honest differences as they remember their 
ultimate accountability to You. Bless and keep them now and always.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
