                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  As we await the unveiling of spring's beauty, O Lord, we stand in the 
bright promise of Your presence.
  Warm our hearts with sincere love and our efforts of reconciliation, 
that we may be ready to engage in the seasonal battles of justice and 
the work of restoration under law.
  Guide the President and all the Members of Congress, that they may be 
Your instruments of renewal in the strength and security of this 
Nation.
  We long for the full revelation of Your power and mercy, now and 
forever.
  Amen.
