                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, may Your grace and peace permeate this Chamber. Let the 
atmosphere of this fall session encourage lively debate, but always 
with mutual respect. May everyone's work reveal gracious manners and a 
manifest personal kindness. Fill this place with spoken wisdom and 
attentive listening.
  May daily work, various conversations and structured meetings bring 
personal satisfaction, prove productive for the American people, and 
give You glory, now and forever. Amen.
