                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, Your words are true. Guide our lawmakers with Your 
precepts. Give them a passion for whatever is just, worthy, and 
honorable. Guide them to cultivate such reverence for Your providence 
that they will repeatedly pray for Your will to be done. Remind them 
that if they faint under pressure, then their strength is too small. 
Help them, therefore, to look to You, for You are able to do 
immeasurably, abundantly above all that they can ask or imagine, 
according to Your power, working in and through them.
  We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
