                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, You are wisdom for the ages and strength in times of weakness, 
renew Your people in faith and by our prayer wash us clean in Your Holy 
Spirit.
  Guide the Members of Congress during this week. Bring forth from 
their diversity a unity of purpose. Born out of honest exchange and 
compromise, let there emerge great leadership for Your people.
  Through the power of Your own Spirit work through them and in them.
  By works in the mind provide new understanding and by works in the 
heart bring about freedom and unity, enough to hold a Nation, now and 
forever. Amen.
