                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our fortress and might, deliver us from clouds of 
pessimism and fear. Lead our lawmakers in these challenging times, 
fulfilling Your purposes through them. Be exalted, O God, above the 
highest heaven, as You demonstrate Your power to make the crooked 
places straight.
  Have mercy upon us and protect us, for Your unfailing love and 
faithfulness sustain us. Shine Your glory over all the Earth as we 
learn to trust You at all times.
  And, Lord, we thank You that Senator Grassley has had another 
wonderful birthday.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
