                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, who alone measures time against the background of eternity 
with the vision of faith, give to Your people an honest perspective, 
that their priorities may surface from the depths of their commitment. 
Help Members of Congress to accomplish great deeds for the good of this 
Nation and for the stability of the world's economy.
  By an honest assessment of natural and national resources, as well as 
facing our own human limitations, lead us on a practical course of 
decisions that will bind the wounds of past sins and free us to live as 
Your people now and forever. Amen.
