                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, thank You for Your sacred precepts that provide 
us with a lamp for our feet and a light for our path. We are grateful 
for Your universal truth that appears across the spectrum of religious 
traditions.
  It states:

       Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. 
     This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the 
     prophets.

  Lord, we praise You for that liberating truth and for Your promise 
that it did set us free.
  Give our Senators the wisdom and courage to know and obey Your truth 
and trust You with the consequences.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
