                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, we lift our hearts to You, 
invoking Your blessings upon this day. You have made us one in our need 
of You, one in our yearning for strength beyond the self, and one in 
our quest for Your peace. Lord, cleanse our hearts and open our minds 
that Your truth may enter our lives.
  Today, give our lawmakers the strength to do Your will. Help them to 
serve one another so that they may reflect Your spirit and goodness. 
Make them so aware of Your presence that they will learn Your wisdom.
  And, Lord, we thank You for the life and legacy of America's first 
President, George Washington.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
