                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God, You are our hope for the years to come. Today, bless 
our Senators. Give them wisdom and grace in the exercise of their 
duties. Help them to possess the faith and courage to seek Your plans. 
Use them to bring peace where discord reigns and to inspire the nations 
of the world.
  Lord, lead them through the obstacles they will face to the 
fulfillment of Your loving providence. Infuse them with reverential awe 
for You. Make and keep their inner lives pure and kind and just. May 
their highest motive be not to win over one another but to win with one 
another.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
