                                 PRAYER

  Minister Michael Greene, Lehman Avenue Church of Christ, Bowling 
Green, Kentucky, offered the following prayer:
  Dear God, Our Creator and the One from whom we receive our 
unalienable rights, we give You our thanks for this day and for all the 
bountiful blessings You have poured out upon this great land, this 
country, and these peoples. We pray these blessings will continue 
through Your grace.
  We are thankful for the opportunity to serve wherein is found 
greatness. We pray for those assembled here today as they deliberate in 
this august body. We pray Your guiding hand be upon them.
  Bless them with wisdom. Bless them with courage to do the right as 
You have revealed the right.
  Help them to remember that what is being done in this place is not 
just an exercise in debate but will affect millions of people.
  Help us, Father, to preserve our heritage of freedom for future 
generations.
  This we pray on this 20th day of May in the year of our Lord.
  Amen.
