                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord our God, as the 109th Congress meets during these December days, 
be present to each of the Members of the House of Representatives.
  Move within them and among them to grant great resolve, powerful 
direction, and a deep sense of accomplishment.
  May their communal decisions and the laws enacted assure justice for 
Your people and lead this Nation with the whole world in the ways of 
peace.
  For You, O Lord, will in the end be the ultimate judge of motivations 
and know the total effect of all our actions both now and forever. 
Amen.
