                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Lord of hosts, we praise You for choosing to make 
Yourself known to us in the unfolding of Your loving providence. Our 
hearts expand with joy because of Your presence. Empower us to keep our 
minds steadfastly on You.
  Lord, use our Senators to make a better Nation and world. Give them 
an openness of mind and heart that they may receive the fullness of 
Your grace. Consecrate them to the laudable task of permitting Your 
kingdom to flourish in this generation and beyond.
  Lord, make our lawmakers instruments of Your peace.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
