                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Richard B. Kunst, St. James Catholic Church, Duluth, 
Minnesota, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, we pray blessings upon the proceedings of this 
Chamber this day. May the Members of Congress and all government 
officials see their authority to govern as a sharing of Your authority, 
O Heavenly Lord.
  And to this end, may the deliberations of today and always support 
the right of every citizen of the United States to have life, liberty, 
and the pursuant of happiness. And may our Nation's motto, ``In God We 
Trust,'' be more than simple words on our currency but, rather, the 
true spirit in which our great Nation is governed.
  We ask that You continue to be present to this great Nation and to 
answer our prayers by Your great love.
  Amen.
