                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious Father, this morning the Senate was jarred awake by the news 
of the tragic airplane accident that claimed the lives of Missouri 
Governor Mel Carnahan, his son, Randy, and Governor Carnahan's aide, 
Chris Sifford.
  In this difficult hour we ask You to give Your strength and peace to 
the Carnahan and Sifford families. Bless the citizens of Missouri. 
Grant Roger Wilson, who at this hour is serving as Acting Governor of 
Missouri, Your power and fortitude.
  We begin the day conscious of the frailty and brevity of our physical 
life. Our time here is but a small part of the whole of eternity. May 
we live and work to Your glory in all that we say and do in this busy 
day in the life of our Senate. In Your all powerful name. Amen.
