                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, our hope for years to come, empower our lawmakers to 
live with integrity. Lord, inspire them to permit their words to be 
matched by their deeds. As they strive for this ethical congruence, 
strengthen them to examine their hearts with the goal of seeking to 
glorify You. Living by Your precepts, may they aspire to be faithful to 
the noble calling of serving You and country.
  We pray in Your majestic Name. Amen.
