                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  God of our forebears, Author of liberty, search our hearts and minds 
in order that we might better know ourselves. Lord, help us to 
comprehend what we need to better represent You. Empower us to live 
exemplary lives that are worthy of Your great love.
  Give our lawmakers a renewed loyalty to protecting the freedoms that 
Americans hold dear. May our Senators use their stewardship of position 
and influence to ensure that America is a shining city upon a hill. May 
their highest incentive be not to win over one another but to win with 
one another by doing Your will for all.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
