                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With this ardent petition, O gracious God, we pray for the gift of 
wisdom in our hearts and in our actions, that what we ask or think or 
do will advance the good of the Nation and be to the benefit of every 
person. May we have perceptive minds and discerning hearts; may we be 
astute in our judgments and show mercy in our decisions so that the 
gift of wisdom will be our heritage and our legacy. Bless us and all 
Your people this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
