                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Our Father in Heaven, supply the needs of our Senators. Meet them 
with new insights for the good of our Nation and world. Lord, provide 
them with fresh strength so they will not become weary in doing what is 
right. Give them the long view of their work. Inspire them with the 
vibrant belief that it is better to fail in a cause that will 
ultimately succeed than to succeed in a cause that will ultimately 
fail. Strengthen them this day with the positive assurance of Your 
eternal presence.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
