                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Gene Hemrick, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Lord of Mercy, since the beginning of time You have sustained us with 
Your heartfelt love and care, a love and care that bonds us in 
friendship with You, with each other and the world.
  Lord, may You bless Congress with a loving heart, which, more than 
anything else, has power to touch and move humankind and renew friendly 
unity that is the crux of America's strength.
  Amen.
