                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With so many words to be said and so much that needs to be 
accomplished, we pray, O God, for integrity in our inner beings and a 
forthright attitude in our hearts. The conflicts and differences of our 
ideas can cause us to speak in ways that do not contribute to our 
shared goals and we are not heard. We pray that our eyes will be open 
to the truth, our ears will hear what is spoken, and our words will 
point the way to justice, for by so doing we will be messengers of the 
wonders of all creation and faithful workers in our land. Amen.
