                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, have compassion on us with Your unfailing love. As our 
lawmakers prepare to formally certify the votes cast by the electoral 
college, be present with them. Guide our legislators with Your wisdom 
and truth as they seek to meet the requirements of the U.S. 
Constitution. Lord, inspire them to seize this opportunity to 
demonstrate to the Nation and world how the democratic process can be 
done properly and in an orderly manner. Help them to remember that 
history is a faithful stenographer, and so are You.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
