                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  May Almighty God bless and guide all Members of Congress and all who 
assist them by bringing personal talent and dedication to staff offices 
and committees of this noble institution.
  May the Lord protect our military forces at home and abroad, 
especially those who are held hostage or in danger in Colombia, 
Afghanistan, and Iraq.
  May the God of mercy grant safe travel to Members and all who 
celebrate the Columbus holiday. And may eternal peace await us all in 
the end. Amen.
