                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, rooted in Your covenant of promise and fulfillment, 
Your people live by faith.
  Because we can recall all the benefits received in the past, we are 
all the more confident of Your presence with us now and Your guidance 
of us into the future.
  May all the undertakings of this 109th Congress of the United States 
of America, and the laws that are made by this body, be firmly 
established in a total commitment to be faithful public servants and 
transparent leaders of compassion and fidelity, both now and forever.
  Amen.
