                                 prayer

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's opening prayer will be offered by 
Father Steven E. Boes, the national executive director of Boys Town in 
Boys Town, NE.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Creator God, we ask Your blessing upon the men and women of the 
Senate. Give them the wisdom of Father Edward Flanagan, the founder of 
Boys Town, who taught America that ``there are no bad boys; only bad 
environment, bad training, and bad example.'' Help us as a nation to 
save children by healing families so that they can provide the good 
environment, training, and example our young people need to be healthy, 
productive citizens. Please inspire our Senators to work together to 
strengthen our families and communities so that our children can become 
stronger in body, mind, and spirit.
  Amen.
