                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With the psalmist of old we pray together:
  ``I cry with my voice to the Lord, with my voice I make supplication 
to the Lord, I pour out my complaint before him, I tell my trouble 
before him. When my spirit is faint, thou knowest my way.
  ``Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my supplications. In thy 
faithfulness answer me, in my righteousness.''
  Hear our prayers this day, O loving God, and may Your eternal 
blessings be in our hearts forever.
  Amen.
