                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  As a parent encourages a child or a mentor calls forth the hidden 
potential of an intern, Lord our God, may You bless all who work as the 
111th Congress, especially new Members.
  Remove fear and confusion, which only inhibit good judgment and 
leadership. Strengthen the resolve and compassion of all Members, that 
they may serve Your people with renewed clarity of vision and refined 
purpose that will soon unify this Nation in self-discipline and 
confidence.
  For You reward the just and their deeds, both now and forever.
  Amen.
