                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Mighty God, turn to us and have compassion, for we sometimes feel 
overwhelmed. Rescue us from the traps of freedom's enemies, enabling 
our lawmakers to accomplish your work on Earth.
  When the problems of our Senators seem to go from bad to worse, 
remind them that You are an ever-present help in times of trouble. Keep 
them from stumbling or slipping in their efforts to honor You. May 
integrity, honesty, and perserverance protect them as they put their 
hope in You. And, Lord, bring peace to our troubled world.
   We pray in Your strong Name. Amen.
