                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, Creator of the world and Redeemer of Your people, work in and 
through each of the Members of this 108th Congress. Help them to be 
creative in their thinking and persevering in their service, all the 
while, reconciling differences and difficulties between people. May 
everything that this Congress undertakes to serve the needs of the 
American people begin with Your inspiration. May all their work be 
continued with Your help and reach a happy conclusion under Your 
guidance.
  For You were with us in the beginning. You are with us now, and You 
will be with us forever and ever. Amen.
