                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, who has created humanity in Your image, look upon us and 
hear our prayers.
  Today, give our lawmakers the desire to do Your will and the energy 
to complete the tasks that will glorify Your Name. That which they 
don't know, reveal it; that which they lack, supply it; and that which 
they doubt, confirm it. Keep them blameless in Your service so that 
their lives will be living letters causing people to exalt Your Name. 
Lord, strengthen their minds for Your service so that Your wisdom will 
permeate their endeavors.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
