                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  You alone are the Lord our God, Father of all, Who is over all and 
works through all and is in all. Each of us has been endowed with great 
gifts by You, Almighty God, and we receive these gifts according to 
personal measure.
  Let us therefore no longer act as children, wasting time and playing 
games with one another for our own satisfaction. Allow us not to be 
tossed about here and there by every kind of story and rumor born of 
human trickery, so skilled in half-truths.
  Rather, Lord, hold us to that greater truth founded on a unified 
assessment that will provide common ground upon which we can stand 
together and achieve lasting security; and as a Nation, give You glory 
both now and forever. Amen.
