                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of might and mercy, thank You for providing our lawmakers with 
opportunities for courageous and noble service. Inspire them to labor 
for Your glory in all they think, say, and do. Illuminate their minds 
with the light of Your divine precepts.
  Lord, equip our Senators for their tasks that they may be physically 
fit, mentally alert, morally straight, and spiritually strong. Create 
in them the life of purity, honesty, and altruism that contributes 
solutions to the problems they face.
  May they work with perseverance and magnanimity for the new and 
better day toward which Your divine intentions guide them.
  We pray in Your faithful Name. Amen.
