                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, whose approval we seek above the hollow applause of 
humanity, may the deliberations of this historic Chamber start and end 
with You. Provide the foundation for the thoughts, words, and actions 
of our Senators, as they remember that You are the author and finisher 
of their faith. Make our lawmakers conscious of the great tradition on 
which they stand, as You fill them with the spirit of wisdom, 
understanding, knowledge, and reverence. May the tyranny of 
partisanship and expediency never bend their consciences to low aims 
which betray high principles.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
