                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of power and mercy, You are Lord of all creation, yet You bend to 
every human need, and are always attentive to our prayer. Bless this 
Nation and the endeavors of Congress today. Give us freedom of spirit 
and health of mind and body that we may serve the people we represent 
and work to establish the values of Your kingdom here on Earth.
  May your revealed presence in our midst carry over to the way we deal 
with one another in mutual respect, and confront the problems we face 
together. We pray, calling upon Your holy name.
  Amen.
