                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, You are our source of hope and salvation. So why should we be 
afraid? You have been our fortress when evil has seemed to be winning. 
So why should we tremble? Lord, keep us fearless even when surrounded 
by predatory evil. Even when there is violence within our Nation, give 
us confidence that Your purposes will prevail. Today, use our lawmakers 
as instruments of Your peace.
  Hear this prayer, mighty God, for Your faithfulness continues to 
sustain us.
  We pray in our Redeemer's Name. Amen.
