                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. Gracious Lord, King of our lives and ruler of all, help 
us today to walk uprightly, speak Your truth, and strive for 
righteousness. Turn the Members of this body back to the truth that 
those who would be great must be willing to serve humanity and that 
those who lose their lives for a worthy cause will find life 
everlasting.
  Lord, make our lawmakers, this day, receptive to Your wisdom, even 
amid the sometimes contention and collision of debate. Help them to 
shine with Your peace and good will. Fill this Chamber with Your 
presence and each Senator with Your power, for the work of this day and 
beyond.
  We pray in Your righteous Name. Amen.
