                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God, always just and source of goodness and life, when life and 
problems are overwhelming, we turn to You. Help this Nation to see 
clearly its next step in history. Deepen the faith of the men and women 
who serve in Congress that they make their moves boldly and decisively 
because You are with them.
  In a world of heightened violence and floating anger, people 
conflicted and helpless need Your guidance and the witness of faithful 
people steeped in virtue and committed to justice. May the ultimate 
effect of the actions of this House secure the freedom of Your people 
and bring order to households and communities everywhere. We ask Your 
blessing now and forever. Amen.
