                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal Father, strong to save, we commit to You the Members of this 
legislative body. Make them faithful in their work and dependent upon 
Your providence. Guide them in their decisions. Strengthen them for 
each task. In their moments of perplexity, remind them of their 
responsibility to bring deliverance to captives and relief to the 
oppressed.
  May they faithfully discharge their duties to You and to country. Let 
Your blessings rest upon their labors and give them Your peace.
  We pray in Your holy Name. Amen.
