                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  We will praise You, Lord, with open hearts. We will recount all Your 
wonders. We will rejoice in You and be glad, just judge of heaven and 
Earth.
  You are enthroned on high overseeing every nation and all peoples. 
You hold the just in Your balance and destroy the wicked. You take up 
the cause and interests of this government as all others. You will 
guide the course of events here in Congress. In the end, its 
accomplishments will be measured and its failures will not be 
overlooked. For You are a stronghold for the oppressed and will judge 
everyone with truth.

  Those who know Your name will place their trust in You always, 
because You never forsake those who seek You and seek Your ways. Amen.
