                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father, in whose patient hands the mighty seasons move with quiet 
beauty, we acknowledge today our great need for Your guidance. Lord, we 
are challenged by complexities that require more than human wisdom. We 
sometimes feel like children, grasping in the darkness, lost without 
light.
  Bless this government of the people, for the people, and by the 
people. Guide its leaders to strive to possess that righteousness that 
exults a nation. Enlighten our Senators with Your wisdom, lest the 
darkness of our times hide the paths of Your providence.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
