                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, because You are the Almighty, You move and act ceaselessly 
without hesitation. Congress and the Nation stand before You in need. 
Make of us what You will. Move and act within us for the common good of 
the Nation and all its citizens.
  Relying on Your revelation throughout history, knowing the power of 
Your Word and Your saving grace, we stand in freedom and desirous of a 
greater union.
  We lift the broken pieces of our covenant, knowing Your power to 
admonish and heal. We proclaim once again to all who would hear and 
understand, as we pray, ``In God We Trust.'' Amen.
