                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, as the voice of truth, You tell us: ``Whoever perseveres to 
the end will be saved.''
  On this Monday, as we embrace this week and the work You require of 
us, both as this institution of leadership and as Americans, Your 
children born of freedom, give us the grace of perseverance.
  May daily work and prayerful hopes guide us a step at a time to reach 
the goals that will bring fulfillment to the promises of our 
constitutional lives as a people and lead us to find eternal reward for 
just deeds, both now and forever. Amen.
