Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1994

No. 26


House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Dr. Lawrence R. Veatch, senior minister, First Christian 
Church, Jefferson City, MO, offered the following prayer:
  Mighty God, Lord of History, Ruler of the Nations, we bow before You 
in the knowledge that we are not our own, for You are the Source of our 
life and the End of our being. We ask Your special benediction for 
these whom we have elected to make decisions as our Nation confronts 
many serious and complex challenges. In the crucible of their debate, 
help them separate the wheat from the chaff, truth from falsehood, good 
from evil, righteousness from selfishness, and good policy from 
personal ambition. Give them the courage to choose what is right rather 
than what is merely popular or expedient. Grant them a strong faith 
that in pursuing Your will and love, the strength of our Nation is 
found. Amen.
