                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, You know our thoughts from afar. Teach us how 
to live to honor Your Name. Rule in our lives, injecting our intentions 
with such purity that even our motives can withstand Your scrutiny.
  Have Your way on Capitol Hill, surrounding our Senators with Your 
power and love. Deliver them from fear and uncertainty as You inspire 
them to stay within the circle of Your will. Lord, bless and consecrate 
their labors today, and use them to serve the common good as You 
strengthen them during the hour of temptation.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
