                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Hope for the future, Lord God, is very much a part of the American 
character. Bless this society which places such a high value on 
personal freedom. Help all Americans to see that freedom is not only a 
treasured gift but a summons to personal responsibility.
  May the Members of Congress set an example for the rest of the Nation 
by working diligently this week to address responsibly the country's 
problems and seek the common good of the people.
  In whatever they do or say, may they give You glory and honor both 
now and forever. Amen.
