                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Almighty God in whom we live and move and have our being, we need You 
every hour, in joy and in pain, in prosperity and in adversity, in 
success and in failure, in the moment of prayer and in the hours of 
toil.
  To the human strivings of our Senators, add Your divine strength. 
Restrain and correct them when they do wrong and confirm and strengthen 
them when they do right. Guide them by Your spirit and support them by 
Your grace. Then in quietness and confidence may they leave the 
consequences to Your unerring judgment, remembering that Your judgments 
are ``true and righteous altogether.''
  We pray in Your wonderful Name. Amen.

                          ____________________
