                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all grace, You have called us to eternal glory. Help us to be 
ever mindful of our final destiny and our purpose while here on Earth.
  You not only call each of us by name, You draw us to Yourself by our 
innate desire to know the truth, to seek what is good, to take delight 
in beauty and to hunger for lasting justice.
  Complete Your work in us and through us that we may prove ourselves 
public servants and bring this Nation to Your honor and give You glory, 
now and forever.
  Amen.
