                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, Your law and Your prophets lead Your people to You. To 
follow them and discover enlightened truth only about the present age 
is to end up in a blind alley.
  May all lawmakers this day know Your presence and seek Your guidance, 
that they may lead to true justice and lasting peace. Otherwise, Your 
people are left to flounder.
  Without You we are left with nothing and accomplish only a mayhem of 
action without focus or direction.
  You are the way, the truth, and life, now and forever. Amen.
