                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Lord God, the fountain of truth and wisdom, thank You for the 
yearning You have placed in our hearts for peace on Earth to those with 
whom You are pleased.
  Today, equip our Senators for the task before them. Help them strive 
to make the rough places of our Nation and world smooth and the crooked 
places straight.
  Lord, give them the wisdom to be guided by conscience and not 
contention. Empower them to disagree without being disagreeable. May 
they never swerve from the straight and narrow path of Your prevailing 
providence.
  We pray in the Name of the Prince of Peace. Amen.
