                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, You are our hope for the years to come. In this 
sacred moment, we turn our thoughts to You. We think of You because You 
have promised that no weapon formed against us will prosper. We think 
of You because You have given us mercy and grace to help us face life's 
difficulties. We think of You because You have guided this Nation 
through seasons more challenging than we face today. We love and depend 
on You, so continue to use our lawmakers as instruments of Your peace.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
