                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us rejoice in the Lord.
  In His beauty, we trace our creation. In His compassion and mercy, we 
claim our salvation.
  In profound humility, we offer our works of justice and our public 
service on behalf of others, and so we find fulfillment.
  To the Lord, we commend this Nation, its people, its resources and 
its leadership.
  May all give You, Lord God, glory, praise, honor, and thanksgiving, 
today and forever.
  Amen.
