                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord of the Sabbath, ever attentive to our prayers, may this weekend 
provide the Members of Congress, their families and their friends the 
joy of Your presence in their midst. May they find the respite they 
need for both their bodies and their souls.
  So renewed in energy and spirit, may they safely return to serve You 
and the people of their districts with greater vigor and determination. 
Then blessed by You, may they accomplish great deeds for this Nation, 
calling upon Your Holy Name, both now and forever.
  Amen.
