                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, reward with Your blessing and longstanding grace all those 
who have served and continue to serve in this respected Chamber of the 
United States House of Representatives.
  Together with the Honorable Members and their personal and committee 
staffs, we beg Your blessing upon the parliamentarians, the clerks, 
pages, cloakroom and security personnel who work on this floor. They 
keep this noble institution functioning for the working of government 
and the good of the Nation.
  Lord, these Your committed servants are proven faithful witness to 
history in the making and silent witness to Your Divine Providence 
guiding and protecting Your people both now and forever. Amen.
