                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, today, open the minds of our lawmakers, that they may 
welcome new insights and knowledge You wish to give them. Remind them 
of Your admonition that they should love You with all their minds.
  Lord, give them the wisdom to refuse to cling so tightly to the past 
that they limit what You can do for them in the future. Give them the 
courage to change their minds when that is needed.
  Lord, may they be tolerant to the thoughts of others and open to the 
truth wherever they may find it.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
