                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of mercy and love, You offer all peoples of the Earth the dignity 
of sharing in Your life.
  Strengthen the people of this Nation to overcome all racial hatreds 
and religious prejudices that we may truly be one Nation under God 
enlightened and free; a real witness of inner freedom to the world.
  May the Members of the House of Representatives be united in enacting 
laws and formulating policies that assure everyone equal justice under 
the law. This we ask and for this we are eternally grateful and praise 
You Lord now and forever. Amen.
