                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, who is our hope for the years to come, bring us safely to the 
harbor of your choosing. Continue to work for the good of those who 
love You and infuse us with the spirit of Your peace.
  Lord, help our lawmakers to do what is fair, remembering your Golden 
Rule which states: ``Do for others what you would like them to do for 
you.''
  Lord, you said in Matthew 7:12 that this principle is a summary of 
all that is taught in the law and the prophets. We praise You for this 
profound maxim to guide our ethical conduct. May it provide our 
lawmakers with wisdom to make sound decisions and strength to walk in 
the way of justice and freedom for all.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
