                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O Divine Peace, bless this place, holding in its silence human hopes 
and America's dreams. Plant seeds of equality and hopefulness in other 
nations as well. May the history of our struggles make us patient as 
the map of the world changes.
  In all our efforts to establish peace, fair trade, civil rights, and 
freedom of religion, may we provide learning and experience to others. 
Lift all beyond mere material prosperity to seek true compassion for 
those most in need and create a spiritual dynamic that will build a 
kingdom of unity and happiness where Your Presence will be realized.
  This we ask calling forth Your Spirit upon us and the whole world 
both now and forever. Amen.
