                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious Lord, You forgive sinners and accept us as Your very own. As 
they seek to perform works of lasting justice for Your people, Members 
of Congress realize they are called to be leaders in understanding and 
reconciliation.
  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., pleaded with this Nation to find ways to 
build bridges of mutual respect within the diversity of this body of 
people.
  Lord, help this Congress to construct renewed trust and draw together 
in establishing Your beloved community here while calling upon Your 
Holy Name both now and forever. Amen.
