                               prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, bless the Senators with the assurance that You are closer 
than their hands and feet and as available for inspiration as 
breathing. May this day be lived in companionship with You, so that 
they will enjoy the confidence of the promise You gave through Isaiah: 
``It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while 
they are still speaking, I will hear.''--Isaiah 65:24.
  Unite the parties in unity. When Your best for America is 
accomplished by creative compromise and cooperation, everybody wins, 
especially the American people. When this day closes, our deepest joy 
will be that we have worked together to achieve Your goals. You are our 
Lord and Saviour. Amen.
