                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, as we convene the Senate today, after a time of 
thanksgiving, please give every Member of this body a desire to bring 
great honor to You. As significant issues are discussed in this 
Chamber, let there be cordiality and civility, wisdom and courage, 
humility and faith.
  Lord, make our Nation a shining example of positive compromise and 
constructive cooperation. Bring to each one serving on Capitol Hill the 
wisdom to see what can be done for the good of our Nation and world 
when Your ways become our ways.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
