                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, throughout the ages of Holy Scripture, You have made 
promises to Your people; and Your divine promises were always 
fulfilled, in due time.
  Be with Your people today. Realize in our day the hopes of 
compassion, peace, and justice You have placed within our hearts. Our 
deepest prayers are wrapped in such promises.
  Look not upon our sins, Lord, unless it is to forgive and set us 
free. Fulfill in us Your word of salvation, both now and forever.
  Amen.
