                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Answer us, O God, when we call. Be gracious to us and hear our 
prayers. Look on our Nation with favor, for Your promises are sure. We 
thank You that so many of our Nation's Founders put their trust in You. 
Lord, make us worthy of this godly heritage.
  May Your presence on Capitol Hill today so influence our Senators 
that the thoughts they think and the words they speak will honor You.
  Don't be far from us, Lord, but continue to be our hope for years to 
come. Help us to remember how You have sustained us in the past as You 
provide for our daily needs.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Thank you, Dr. Black. Your prayers are 
wonderful.
