Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1994

No. 22


House of Representatives

  The House met at 11 a.m.
  The Rabbi Israel Poleyeff, Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and 
Rockaway, Cedarhurst, NY, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty G-d, we ask Thy blessings upon this distinguished 
legislative body, and we ask that You crown their deliberations with 
success. For more than two centuries our blessed and beloved country 
has been the haven for those fleeing tyranny and oppression. They came 
to these shores seeking a new life in the land of freedom and 
opportunity. Our Nation to this day remains a beacon of light to all 
people and an example to the nations of the world that life, liberty 
and the pursuit of happiness are indeed the inalienable rights of all 
human beings.
  The men and women gathered here are charged with the awesome 
responsibility of guiding our Nation along that path set forth by our 
Founding Fathers. Bless them with wisdom and understanding and 
compassion so that all the inhabitants of this land can look forward to 
the time when every person shall dwell safely, ``each under his vine 
and his fig tree'' in peace and security. Amen.
