                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, America returns to another workweek while some coworkers 
and family members are away on summer vacation.
  May this be a lesson to us all; that life must be lived with balance 
and none of us is irreplaceable in Your divine plan.
  Inspire Members of the House of Representatives, Lord, to make the 
best use of the time given them. In the midst of many duties, let 
family needs be attended to. May the productive work of Congress 
stabilize this Nation and create a better social order, so that all 
Your people may enjoy responsible freedom and equal justice under the 
law.
  To You be praise and glory now and forever. Amen.
