                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Dr. Alan Keiran, Office of the Chaplain, United States 
Senate, offered the following prayer:
  God of grace and glory, we pray this day for our distinguished 
Representatives and the Nation they so ably serve. Equip them with the 
wisdom, strength and perseverance needed to bring important issues to 
closure. Bless those they love in their times of separation from family 
and friends. Bless their staff members as they labor to support the 
honorable men and women they so gallantly serve. For military men and 
women deployed in harm's way and their families, we pray Your 
Providential protection, comfort and peace.
  O Lord, our precious Savior and eternal King, equip leaders across 
this great land with the wisdom and endurance to meet the challenges 
ahead.
  In Your holy Name we pray. Amen.
