                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Master of our hopes and dreams, who constantly works for the good of 
those who love You, teach us to strive to be faithful. As we anticipate 
a long and challenging day, remind us that You call us not to success 
but to faithfulness.
  Give our Senators and the members of their staffs the wisdom to make 
the commitment to be true to You and to serve Your purposes. Let not 
discordant notes destroy the melody of their labors as they seek Your 
counsel and wisdom.
  Lord, guide our great Nation. Help it to be a lighthouse to a dark 
and turbulent world. Prosper the works of our hands until the kingdoms 
of this world become the springboard for Your eternal reign.
  We pray in Your Holy Name. Amen.
