                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, who breathes forth Your Spirit upon this world for 
another day, grant us true faith--a faith vision which will hold 
Congress and the people of this Nation together in troublesome times 
and through fashionable change.
  Strengthen us in optimistic hope, as once again we place our trust in 
You.
  Renew us in steadfast love as we would be loved; for lasting values 
and lasting virtue rest on these three: faith, hope, and love. The 
greatest of these is love. For this is Your Holy Name, now and forever.
  Amen.
