                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O Lord our God, send forth Your light and Your truth. Let these be 
our guide. Lead this Congress and this Nation to the heights of Your 
holy mountain and to all the places You choose to dwell. We will come 
before You filled with joy and offer thanksgiving to You, our Redeemer.
  So why do we seem downcast at times? Hope in God. Hope in God as our 
Savior. There is always a reason to praise the Lord. Again and again He 
will prove Himself our mighty God, both now and forever. Amen.
