                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Sustain in Your people, Lord, the song of Your freedom. Let the new 
life of spring touch the soul of this Nation and strengthen the arm of 
Congress, that renewed in spirit we may build a mighty defense against 
all evil forces and any disease which seeks to weaken the health of 
Your people.
  Unite our resources in every effort to confront what is destructive, 
and at the same time, make us creative to face the issues of a new day, 
that we may give You glory in the sight of the nations both now and 
forever.
  Amen.
