                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Leroy Adams, Jr., Morning Star Baptist Church, Omaha, 
Nebraska, offered the following prayer:
  Our God, we come with gratitude for another day and with thanksgiving 
in our hearts for the privilege of life and the opportunity to make 
this day purposeful.
  We ask for Your blessings to this legislative body as they govern the 
welfare of all people of this great Nation. Endow them with wisdom, 
discernment, courage, and conviction to engage the issues of our day 
and for the generations to come to be better off as a result of all 
decisions made within this assembly hall.
  Finally, I pray to You that a spirit of cooperation and sincerity 
would transcend our Nation to have solidarity, peace, and equality for 
all.
  We ask this to be done this day and in the days to come to give glory 
and honor to You, our God, and we pray that Your blessings be upon us 
always.
  In Your name, we pray. Amen.
