                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  We bless You and we praise You, Lord, this afternoon for the House 
pages who gave up their junior year of high school to serve this 
institution these past months with youthful enthusiasm and sincere 
dedication. During their time together, they have grown in learning and 
maturity and personal integrity. We thank You, Lord, for bringing them 
together to serve this Nation here in the House of Representatives of 
the United States.
  We ask You to bless them and their families and grant them safe 
travel. Back home, may they find peace awaiting them, friends to be 
there to greet them, and lasting memories of their experience here to 
guide them and give them delight for years to come.
  All praise and glory to You, Lord, now and forever. Amen.
