                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Today's opening prayer will be offered
by the guest chaplain, Rabbi Harold Kravitz from Minnetonka, MN.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Our God of all that is good, it is a privilege to be inside this 
Capitol Building, richly designed to inspire those who govern to 
achieve the loftiest goals possible for this Nation.
  Guide the Senators who sit in this Chamber to do what the Book of 
Deuteronomy describes: ``that which is right and good in the sight of 
the Eternal One.''
  We pray for all Americans, especially those who lack sufficient food 
to feed themselves and their families. This body has the power to 
change this reality, to do that which is right and good.
  May the One who Provides Sustenance for All--Hazan et Hakol--bless 
this United States Senate with the wisdom and compassion to act on its 
responsibilities for those who are vulnerable and in need.
  May all God's people in this land be able to live with dignity and 
share in the plenty with which this Nation is blessed.
  Amen.
