                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O God, our rock and redeemer, by Your will we came into being, and at 
Your command, when the right hour is come, we shall one day leave this 
world. Do not be silent when we need to hear You speak.
  Lord, let Your Spirit lead our Senators. May they increase in self-
forgetfulness, in simplicity, in courage, and in trust so that each day 
they will approach nearer to Your likeness.
  Lord, help them to offer themselves afresh to be used in Your 
service. Show them Your ways, and may they obey Your precepts.
  Give wisdom to the perplexed, fresh vigor to the discouraged, and a 
clearer vision to all who seek Your will.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
