                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we offer You our hearts. Guide our lawmakers. May they 
strive to permit justice to roll down like waters and righteousness 
like a mighty stream. Grant that they will join You in Your messianic 
thrust to bring good news to the marginalized, to announce freedom for 
those who suffer, and to give sight to the ethically, morally, and 
spiritually blind. Lord, inspire our Senators to live pure and 
blameless lives, seeking to bring the greatest glory to You.
  We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
