                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  We praise You, our God and King. You rule generation after 
generation. You are so high that the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain 
You. Yet You dwell with those who possess a contrite spirit. Thank You 
for Your kindness and mercy, for showering compassion on all creation.
  Bless our Senators. Give them words that will illuminate and refresh. 
Help them to accept timely advice and valid criticism as a measure of 
progress. Lord, infuse them with patience and truth as they practice 
self-control.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
