                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We thank You for the many blessings of yesterday, and the gracious 
reminder to us of our political history of democracy, deeply rooted in 
the mind of the American people. May all our efforts here, and 
throughout the country, be of service to and the promotion of the good 
of the human person--based on respect for each person's dignity.
  We also thank You for the tremendous outpouring of goodwill, and the 
extraordinary efforts of so many yesterday, whose service made all that 
transpired seem effortless. May the memories of the day be an ongoing 
blessing to all whose day's labor made the day a great celebration for 
all people of goodwill.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
