                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name on all the Earth. Make 
this day an opportunity for our lawmakers to advance Your providential 
purposes. May they think Your thoughts, striving always to do Your 
will.
  Lord, lead them together to find solutions to the problems that beset 
our Nation and world. Calm their fears and strengthen their faith, as 
You use them to accomplish Your will. Let Your peace guard their 
hearts.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
