                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on this Senate Chamber. Enter 
the mind and heart of each Senator and reign as Sovereign over all that 
is said and done this day. We praise You for the dedication of the 
Senators and for their earnestness to deal with the crucial issues 
before our Nation. May these days of genuine exchange of concerns and 
convictions move the Senate forward to an agreeable solution for the 
future of campaigning for office in America.
  Lord, we are here to serve You and Your best for our Nation. Thank 
You for all the people who contribute to the Senate with such loyal and 
excellent service. Today we praise you for the life of John Roberson 
who worked in the Disbursing Office for 20 years. Now as his family and 
friends grieve his death, we ask You especially to care for his son 
Dave who has followed in his father's footsteps with his own 20-year 
period of loyal service.
  Today, we renew our commitment to do all we can to serve the best we 
can and express Your care for whomever we can. Amen.
