                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, guardian of this Nation throughout its history, be with 
Your people today as in the past. Through the power of Your spirit, 
keep the Members of the United States House of Representatives constant 
in their service to Your people. Help each to play his or her part in 
shaping the life and well-being of this Nation. May thoughts be guided 
by truth and integrity and all determinations conform to Your commands 
so as to build the public trust while assuring peace.
  To You be glory and honor forever and ever. Amen.
