                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our powerful deliverer, we trust in You for protection, 
for You save us from those who shoot from the shadows. You keep the 
faithful from vanishing from our planet, providing a refuge for the 
oppressed and a shelter when gloating evil seems to have the upper 
hand.
  Today, use our lawmakers to help bring unity to a divided Nation and 
peace to a war-torn world. May our Senators make their positive impact 
by living blameless lives, speaking the truth, keeping their promises, 
and honoring You in their thoughts, words, and deeds.
  We pray in Your merciful Name. Amen.
