                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Strengthened by Your grace, Lord God, we call upon Your holy name and 
ask Your blessing upon our land, its leaders in government, 
representatives of this population. Grant glory to our military forces. 
Protect them and help them to establish peace.
  Shepherd Your people in these days, that we do not wander aimlessly, 
forgetting Your mighty deeds in our Nation's past. Ever mindful of our 
religious heritage, make us a virtuous people, an example to other 
nations. Tend to our needs with blameless heart.
  With the skills of a discerning mind, united in truth and justice, 
lead this Congress to enact laws of equal justice now and forever. 
Amen.
