                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Holy Father, we join with Americans across our land in the 
celebration of National Police Recognition Week. We gratefully remember 
those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Particularly, we honor 
the memory of our own officers in the United States Capitol Police: 
Sergeant Christopher Eney on August 24, 1984 and Officer Jacob Chestnut 
and Detective John W. Gibson on July 24, 1998. Thank you for their 
valor and heroism. Continue to bless their families as they endure the 
loss of these fine men.
  May this be a time for us as a Senate family to express our profound 
appreciation for all of the police officers and detectives who serve 
here in the Senate. They do so much to maintain safety and order, 
knowing that, at any moment, their lives may be in danger. Help us to 
put our gratitude into words and actions of affirmation. May we take no 
one for granted.
  Now we dedicate this day to serve You. Bless the Senators as they 
confront issues with Your divinely endowed wisdom and vision. Through 
our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
