                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Immortal, invisible, God only wise, continue to lead our lawmakers 
like a great shepherd. May they be watchful among the unwatchful and 
awake among those who sleep. Give them the wisdom to speak and act with 
such pure minds that joy will follow them like gentle winds.
  Lord, guide their consciences so that our Senators may faithfully 
serve our Nation and uphold Your values and truths. As we near the 
August break may our lawmakers appreciate that substantive things have 
been accomplished, but much remains to be done.
  Thank You that the illumination of Your wisdom enables us to more 
clearly see Your truth.
  We pray in Your sacred Name. Amen.
