                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Answer us when we call, O God, and have mercy upon our Nation. May, 
our lawmakers work to do Your will, remembering that You have set apart 
the godly for yourself. Provide our Senators a refuge in You, enabling 
them to shout for joy, blessed by Your righteousness and favor. 
Continue to supply their needs, teaching them how to abound and abase.
  Lord, keep us all from slipping, presenting us one day before Your 
throne with great joy.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
