                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. Eternal God, in spite of our shortcomings, you have 
promised never to forsake us. In this decisive season of our Nation's 
history, give our lawmakers wisdom and courage. May they remember that 
history is a faithful stenographer who will judge their words and deeds 
in the shining light of truth.
  Lord, provide our Senators with the grace to glorify You, as they 
remember You have appointed them for this moment in time. And Lord, we 
thank You for the courage and professionalism of the men and women in 
our Nation's military. We also thank You for the life and legacy of 
Senator Kay Hagan.
  We pray in Your great Name. Amen.
