                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, whose plans stand firm forever, You test the motives of 
our hearts. Today, give our lawmakers such ethical consistency that 
their motives will remain pure. May love for You become the dominant 
motivation for all they think, say, and do.
  As they strive to live according to Your precepts, fill their hearts 
with songs of gratitude. Lord, remind them that this day is a gift from 
You, so they should rejoice because of the blessing of another sunrise.
  We pray in Your generous Name. Amen.
