                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Dr. Alan Keiran, Office of the United States Senate, offered 
the following prayer:
  Father God, as the Psalmist says, ``I will extol the Lord at all 
times; His praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the 
Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let 
us exalt His name together.'' (Psalm 34:1-3)
  We depend on You, King of Heaven's armies, to reveal to our Nation's 
leaders Your plans to prosper our Nation and its people, Your plans to 
give us hope and a bright future. Inspire every public servant to seek 
Your wisdom and pray for Your daily favor to fall upon our country and 
our world.
  And may You, Lord, be with those who are in harm's way and their 
families. This I ask in the Name above every name.
  Amen.
