                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who rules the raging of the sea, use our lawmakers to 
bring stability to our Nation through wise and knowledgeable 
leadership. Remind them to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow 
to anger. Give them the wisdom to understand that moral rot within a 
nation can topple its government.
  Lord, inspire our Senators to pursue justice, to love mercy, and to 
work with humility. Help them also to remember that You rescue the 
blameless from harm.
  And, Lord, give a special blessing to Your faithful servants who 
worked through the night.
  We pray in Your faithful Name. Amen.
