                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Lord, You are in the midst of us and we are called Your children. We 
confess that we often fail to live worthy of Your great Name and 
generous mercies. We thank You for the opportunity to serve You as we 
strive to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave. 
Abide with our lawmakers. Be their companion as they labor to keep this 
Nation strong. Drive away all snares of the enemy and may no weapon 
formed against them be able to prosper. Make our Senators models of 
excellence and integrity for our Nation and world.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
