                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty and eternal God, we thank You for our country. We praise You 
for her hills and valleys, her fertile soil, her trees, her plains and 
mountains.
  Forgive us when we seek material power alone. Forgive us if, in our 
prosperity, we have been condescending to others. Forgive us, too, if 
we have neglected the admonition of Your word. Lord, we confess our 
mistakes.
  Use our Senators today to keep us a great Nation, full of truth and 
righteousness.
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.
