                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who laid the foundation of the Earth, the Heavens are 
the works of Your hands. You are the same yesterday, today, and 
forever, and Your years have no end.
  Today, use our Senators as they serve You with gladness and awe. May 
they make pleasing You their first priority. Lord, give them Your 
guidance so that they will behave wisely, striving to have a conscience 
void of offense toward You and humanity. May they never forget all Your 
blessings and benefits.
  We pray in Your loving Name. Amen.
