                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are grateful, O God, for all Your gifts to us and Your promises to 
all people. On this day we remember with gratitude those who have given 
of their talents and abilities in public service and who have sought to 
fulfill the biblical injunction to do justice, to love mercy, and to 
walk humbly with You. May the example of those who have served 
faithfully in this place remind others of their opportunity to be 
involved with public responsibility in working together for the common 
good. Bless all gathered here and be with all Your people, this day and 
every day, we pray. Amen.
