                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, Lord of history, lead our Senators above all 
irrelevancies and trivialities to a unity of passion and purpose. 
Create in them an elevated and refined patriotism that will make them 
eager to know and do Your will. May the words of their mouths and the 
meditations of their hearts receive Heaven's approval. In the awareness 
that ``without a vision the people perish,'' give our lawmakers a fresh 
revelation of the United States of America. Also, keep ever before them 
the dream of a better world that is yet to be.
  We pray in Your marvelous Name. Amen.
