                                 PRAYER

  Today's opening prayer will be offered by our guest Chaplain, CAPT 
Washington Johnson II, CHC, USNR Deputy Chaplain, Navy Region Hawaii.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, who reigns in splendor and majesty, we acknowledge Your 
divine power as we seek the blessings that will sustain and guide us 
through this day's journey. We pray that Your presence will fill this 
Chamber and that You would grant our Senators sufficient wisdom, 
knowledge, and understanding with the deliberations and decisions that 
will be made.
  We thank You for this Nation's indelible history, and we ask Your 
blessings of protection upon it as we look forward to the glorious day 
that the Prophet Isaiah wrote about that proclaims:

       He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; 
     They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their 
     spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword 
     against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.

  This is my prayer in the name of Him that is eternal. Amen.
