                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, we thank You for Your blessing and care for the 
Senators and the crucial work of this Senate. We praise You for the way 
the Senators of both parties worked together on the passage of the 
educational legislation last Thursday. May this spirit of cooperation 
continue as the strategic legislation of this week is considered. As 
the Senators do their work here, continue to bless their families. 
Watch over them with Your gracious protection. Also, we thank You for 
all the people who work to make the Senate run smoothly: the officers 
of the Senate, the Senators' staffs, the many Senate staff departments, 
the police officers, the reporters of debate, the pages, those who run 
the subways and elevators, the food service people, and the custodial 
staff. Give each person a renewed sense of his or her importance in the 
effectiveness of the operation of the Senate. Keep us all working 
together as a family of loyal Americans privileged to serve our Nation. 
Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
