                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God of unfolding ministry, for Your people, each new day is 
meant to be a discovery. Even in the ordinary and the routine, an inner 
dynamic is present. Every day the infant becomes capable of new 
physical motion and experiences relationships. Deepening marriage 
reveals more of a person to another, and a new friendship creates 
common interests in the imagination and in the heart.
  May this day, this week, re-create this Nation and this Congress to 
be open to new possibilities for Your people and of being a catalyst in 
the world community.
  Move us beyond prejudice and self-image, to be dynamically present to 
You and others now and forever.
  Amen.
