Nations like Mexico may have to discourage arrival of people from people, and the United States fourth with 270 million. As growth in less developed nations continues to top the more developed ones, migration will continue to be a problem as people seek better lives and Jobs, Bouvier said. Indeed, he suggests immigrants other Central American states, he says, because of crowding and overpopulation In newly industrialized areas.

Mexico City, Bouvier says, could become the world's most populous city by 2034, at just under 40 million, people.

Bouvier, speculating on what the world might be like in the year 2034 in a report done for the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington based non-profit study group. Bouvier; a senior researcher at the bureau, characterizes his conclusions as optimistic, noting that he assumes that the evolution of society will be generally orderly over the next half-entury, that there will no nuclear war and that there will be sufficient food, water, mineral and energy resources for mankind.

If things do go that well, Bouvier anticipates a world population of just over 8 billion in the year 2034, double the 1976 figure. India will have become the world's most populous nation with 1.3 billion people, he says, topping China, where efforts to reduce population-growth have held the total to 1.2 billion. The Soviet Union will remain third largest, he says, with 330 million schools or other public institutions. No person shall be required by the United States or by any state to participate in prayer."

Newt Gingrich, an outspoken backer of the amendment, is lining up speakers to talk all night long in the House about the measure. Even though the legislation is not before the House, Gingrich and his colleagues plan to make use of a rule that allows members to speak on any subject, for an hour apiece, at the close of a day's session. And Democratic House leaders say they'll make no efforts to block the all-night vigil. "Let them talk," said Edwards. "After all, we did the same thing on Vietnam."

That appears to be the consensus of prayer amendment backers, and some opponents as well, as the Senate prepares to take up the measure and House sponsors plan an all-night talkathon to dramatize their support for it. To date, none of the social legislation advocated by Reagan and con gressional conservatives in their 1980 campaigns has won congressional approval. Those issues include school prayer and anti-abortion amendments and prohibitions against school busing. Now, with the 1984 campaigns well under are join- Ing forces and focusing their energies on winning last-ditch approval of the prayer amendment. The Senate is expected to begin debate on school prayer later this week.

Majority Leader Howard Baker, a 1988 presidential hopeful, is personally leading the charge although the proposal faces a determined liberal filibuster. "He's trying to set the agenda for social issues. And on this one, there's more support than on the other issues," said Tom Griscom, a Baker aide. He said some national surveys have showed that as many as 85 percent of the American public supports a return of voluntary prayer to schools. Debate could tie the Republican-run Senate up for weeks, but Baker has expressed optimism that he'll be able to eventually muster the vote necessary votes to choke a filibuster threatened by Senate liberals.

The amendment requires 'two-thirds votes in both chambers before it could be offered states for rati fication.

Republican House sponsors of the measure have enlisted an all-star -lineup of sports personalities to dramatize their support for Senate approval and to try to force a House vote. They also plan an all-night session to coincide with the start of the Senate debate.

Scheduled speakers at a planned GOP forum supporting the prayer amendment include Washington Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs and kicker Mark Moseley, former Baltimore Colt halfback Lenny Moore, former New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams tackle Rosey Grier and Mead-lowlark Lemon of the Harlem Globetrotters. "We hope to create enough interest and pressure on the Democratic (House) leadership to give us a vote on the floor," said Rep. William E. Dannemeyer of California, chair-- man of the Republican Study Com-. mittee, which is sponsoring the fo--rum.

"Up to now, they (Democratic, leaders) have indicated that the proposal will lie buried in the Judiciary Committee. We're trying to build up pressure to the paint where we'll get a vote," Dannemeyer said. Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif, chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on constitutional rights, where the measure is cur rently bottled up, said he will hold "in depth" hearings on the measure if it wins Senate approval. He concedes the school prayer amend-.

ment is popular in Congress and he expects its approval, at least in the GOP-run Senate. Edwards said, however, that he remains firmly opposed to the proposal. "I take the First Amendment very seriously. The government's holding of religious services in public schools violates the constitutional separation of church and state." The proposed amendment would overturn 1962 and 1963 Supreme Court rulings that outlawed prayer in public schools. It reads; "Nothing in this Constitution shall be construed to prohibit individual or group prayer in public fire, the was host to 5.5..
