                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  There are many different gifted persons assembled here in the 110th 
Congress, but there is one Spirit Who has called all of them to serve. 
There are many different committees and different concerns for the 
House of Representatives to address; but there is one Lord over all. 
There are different works; but all are centered on the one aspiration 
of equal justice under the law. There are different activities each day 
here on Capitol Hill; but there is one God and Father of all, Who is 
present and active in all. For to each person there is given a 
manifestation of the Spirit, and this is given for the common good of 
the Nation. May God be praised in our diversity and in our unity now 
and forever.
  Amen.
