                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, rule and reign in our lives. Lord, we are gratefully 
aware that You are the giver of every good and perfect gift. We are 
further aware of our own unworthiness.
  As our Senators labor today, make them extensions of Your power in 
our world. May they arrange their priorities according to Your will and 
view their challenges from an ethical and moral perspective. Help them 
to walk in Your way, that You may prolong their days and prosper their 
work. Lord, sustain them in moments of stress and tension by renewing 
their faith in You.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
