                                 PRAYER

  Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, Catholic University of America, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Good and gracious God, on this, the last day of the year, we look 
back and give You thanks for Your many blessings given to us, to our 
loved ones, and to our entire Nation. Indeed, we have been richly 
blessed.
  We are also aware of what has not yet been accomplished, and so what 
needs to be done. As we go forward into a new year, we do so with hope. 
We know that You are with us. We pray that Your holy spirit would 
especially hallow this Chamber.
  May this place be, today and always, a place of enlightenment and 
those here always intent on doing Your will.
  We make this prayer in Your holy name.
  Amen.
