                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Our guest Chaplain, the Reverend Dr. Frank 
Carr, national chaplain of the American Legion, from Halifax, VA, will 
open the Senate in prayer.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, giver of all peace, freedoms, and victories we enjoy in 
this great Nation we call America, we invite Your Holy Spirit to take 
control of these Your Senators today, that they will serve the people 
of this Nation with Your spirit and truth. We pray Your holy hand will 
keep them forever righteous, humble of heart, unselfish in the 
governing of this Nation, that their decisions be made with love of 
this Nation and all the people they oversee and serve.
  We pray, Father, they discharge their duties with honor and dignity; 
that they will always remember the blessings of freedom were purchased 
at a great cost; that with their loyalty and service to God and country 
in the spirit of true democracy for our Nation, God will allow America 
to be that Nation He intended it to be.
  And now, unto Him that is able to keep you from falling and present 
you faultless before the presence of his Holy Spirit, with exceeding 
joy, to the only wise God, our Savior, be glory, majesty, dominion, and 
power, both now and forevermore. Amen.
