                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Father of us all, by the power of Your spirit You fill our hearts 
with gifts of love for family and friends.
  Hear our prayers for those in most need of our loving concern.
  Help us bind up wounds of the past by forgiveness and strengthen our 
relationships in the future with new life.
  As Members of the House of Representatives we pray for those who 
elected us to office and we ask the grace to serve them well.
  You make us Your instrument of leadership and unity in this Nation 
now and for years to come.
  Amen.
