                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Powerful God, we live in times that test our resolve, but You remain 
in control of our world. We depend upon Your might to empower our 
lawmakers to carve tunnels of hope through mountains of despair. Mighty 
God, enable our Senators to experience the blessings of Your unfolding 
providence as You empower them to find solutions for the problems of 
our Nation and world.
  May Your goodness and unfailing love pursue them all the days of 
their lives. And, Lord, let there be peace on Earth.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
