Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1994

No. 17


House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Give us, O God, the ability to open our ears to the world about us 
and to the people that are the center of Your creation. We know that we 
are engaged in sometimes cluttered lives and the words we hear from 
others go unheard or misunderstood. Teach us, gracious God, to focus on 
our conversations with each other, to try to comprehend and to 
understand, and to perceive the motivations and the intentions of every 
person, for by so doing, we will represent more clearly Your gifts of 
harmony, peace, and unity. Bless us this day and every day, we pray. 
Amen.
