                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Michael Lotker, Temple Ner Ami, Camarillo, California, offered 
the following prayer:
  Dear God, You sustain us and inspire us. Yours is the unity 
connecting all things created by You and directing us to serve You in 
unity of purpose, spirit, and strength. Bless us with the resources to 
do Your work.
  The very name of this Nation, the United States, and the very name of 
this institution, the Congress, underlines the power and indeed the 
holiness of such unity.
  I therefore humbly request Your most ancient blessing for the people 
of this great Nation and for their elected Representatives.
  ``May God bless you and protect you. May God's light shine upon you 
and may God be gracious to you. May God's face be lifted before you and 
may God grant you peace.''
  Amen.
