                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  United in prayer and in the belief that this country deserves the 
very best of their efforts, Lord, this Congress is called to order. 
Selected by the citizens to uphold the Constitution in all 
circumstances, the Members of Congress are truly called by You, O Lord, 
to bring Your truth and Your compassion to a pulsating reality in this 
Nation.
  May the fidelity of the Members to public service and their ability 
to represent the best of their districts here create today even a small 
signal of Your tremendous fidelity to Your people, so revered and so 
loved, both now and forever. Amen.
