                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal Father, the source of light and life, we praise Your Holy 
Name. Because of You, we live and move and have our being. Remind us 
that we are not adequate for our daily task without Your strength and 
abiding presence.
  Lord, empower our Senators this day to think clearly, speak wisely, 
and live faithfully. May they strive to do their best and then leave 
the results to You.
  Eternal God, we are trusting You to fulfill Your purposes for our 
Nation and world.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
