                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O, holy God, who has taught us to place our confidence in You, give 
the Members of this body the power of Your wisdom. In all their duties, 
empower them to be loyal to You and obedient to Your precepts. Infuse 
them with faith to believe that You are willing to help them solve the 
problems they face when they place their trust in You. Lord, be their 
abiding reality and lead them into the paths of loving service, as they 
strive to honor You. Open their eyes to the many things they can do to 
accomplish Your will.
  Today, Lord, we thank You for the life and legacy of former 
Congressman Jack Kemp. Comfort all who mourn his death and give them 
Your peace.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
