                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of grace and glory, in the darkness of our limited knowledge, we 
turn to You whose dwelling place is light.
  Today, send our lawmakers forth with Your light to do the right as 
You give them the ability to see it.
  Lord, help them to keep their minds on You so that Your peace will 
provide the foundation for their confidence.
  In their dealings with each other, keep them from unkind words and 
unkind silences. Kindle on the altar of their hearts a devotion to 
freedom's cause in all the world, as You bring their thoughts and 
actions into conformity to Your will.
  Lord, lift their hearts in gratitude to You for our heritage in this 
land of rich resources, high privilege, and durable freedom.
  We pray in Your sovereign Name. Amen.
