                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  From the darkness of the night, the light of a new day emerges 
gradually, filled with promise. Shed Your light upon Congress, Lord, 
that its work of unifying this Nation in defense and in leadership may 
be blessed with solidarity and peace.
  May sincere faith and faithfulness to responsibilities demonstrate 
the Word of the Lord is alive and at work in our midst. It strikes at 
the very heart and pierces more deftly than any two-edged sword, 
revealing the truth that will set people free, now and forever. Amen.
