                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Here, Lord, God of heaven and earth, You find a Nation of prayer. 
Each day, millions of citizens approach You as our Maker and seek Your 
grace and give You thanks for many blessings. Each day in the sessions 
of this noble assembly, we pause and turn to You in prayer.
  Help us to face boldly the increasingly complex political and ethical 
issues of our time. Guide American people to find in their religious 
beliefs a precious source of insight and an inspiration to pursue 
reasoned, responsible and respectful dialogue in their efforts to build 
a more human and free society.
  And so give You greater glory--both now and forever.
  Amen.
