                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Gene Hemrick, Washington Theological Union, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Lord, during this holy season which prompts us to especially lift our 
thoughts to You, may You bless this Congress with Your wisdom and the 
peace and justice it creates when we turn to You.
  We further pray that in this inclement weather You give its Members 
safe passage home to be with their loved ones and to experience the joy 
this creates. Amen.
