                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Gene Hemrick, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  O Lord, the Gospel of St. Matthew proclaims: ``Blessed are those who 
hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be blessed.''
  O Lord, may our U.S. Congress be blessed in pursuing righteousness 
and the virtue of peace it procures.
  May Your guidance bless it with wisdom that enables the U.S. Congress 
to hunger and thirst for newly formulated means that generate order and 
the tranquility peace produces.
  May our Nation be a shining example to the world of our desire for 
peace and prosperity for all.
  Amen.
