                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Alan Keiran, Office of the United States Senate 
Chaplain, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God Almighty, the heavens declare Your glory. The skies proclaim 
the work of Your hands.
  We come to You today on behalf of our Nation's elected 
Representatives and all who serve with them.
  Bless each Member of this Congress with the insights needed to lead 
our Nation into a bright future. May such cooperation and nobility be 
seen in this Chamber that nations around the world will pattern their 
legislatures in like manner.
  Bless each staff member with the wisdom and stamina needed to 
patiently and methodically labor long hours for the good of our 
country.
  Finally, Lord, may all those whose lives are focused in serving in 
this Chamber know with absolute certainty that their dedicated service 
is noticed and appreciated by their leaders.
  In Your mighty Name, I pray. Amen.
