                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God eternal, Creator of unfailing light, give that same kind of light 
to all who call upon Your Holy Name.
  May our minds and hearts be purified of all self-centered wishes and 
judgments.
  So, freed enough to be attentive to Your Word and Holy Inspirations, 
enable this Congress to accomplish Your purpose for this country and do 
what is best, not only for ourselves but for those most in need. This 
will give You lasting glory, both now and forever. Amen.
