                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God Almighty, giver of all good gifts and authority's source of 
wisdom, we stand humbly before You. We ask Your forgiveness for the 
times we are self-centered and not attuned to the needs of others or 
Your holy inspirations.
  Give us strength today to accomplish the work of the people in the 
House of freedom and civil expression. Receive our praise and 
thanksgiving for Your countless gifts and the opportunity to serve in 
government.
  To You be honor and glory now and forever. Amen.
