                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who has given our lawmakers diversities of talents by 
the same spirit, use us for Your glory.
  Lord, protect our Nation from evil. Prevent the weapons formed 
against America from prospering, for You remain our refuge and 
fortress. Continue to be the strength of our lives, as we remember the 
many times You have preserved us in the past.
  Lord, open our eyes to the unfolding of Your providence. Open our 
minds to Your truth. Open our lips to speak Your wisdom.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
