                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Show us Your mercy, Lord. Look upon our weakness and insecurity, and 
keep us safe.
  In the midst of the work this week and among all the Members, grant 
the fullness of Your peace in all their undertakings. Strengthen this 
Congress with the renewed resolve of common purpose. Together, both 
Chambers hold the sacred trust of the people as they face issues 
disturbing the Nation. May all decisions serve the common resolve of 
the people and give You the glory both now and forever. Amen.
