                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God Almighty, send forth Your spirit to guide the Members of the 
House of Representatives today and every day of this 111th Congress. By 
Your power, manifest the strength of this democracy.
  So direct the course of this body that policies and decisions made 
here may proclaim Your goodness to all the people. Not in words only 
but with every action freely accepted, may this Nation show the world 
that it is an agent of reconciliation and peace for all and give You 
glory, both now and forever. Amen.
