                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Eugene Hemrick, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, on the House side of the U.S. Capitol is the frieze titled 
The Apotheosis of Democracy, depicting the horn of plenty with which 
you have blessed our country and the industriousness of those 
responsible for it.
  As we enter the season of summer, we pray that You bless those here 
who govern and the governed with Your divine wisdom needed to continue 
the awe-inspiring prosperity with which You have provided us.
  Amen.
