Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, MARCH 24, 1994

No. 35


House of Representatives

  The House met at 11 a.m.
  The Reverend W. Douglas Tanner, Jr., executive director, Faith & 
Politics Institute, Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, we come together today conscious of many dimensions of 
political leadership.
  We pray that You would keep us truly in touch with our constituents: 
their hurts and frustrations, their hopes and dreams, their limitations 
and their potential.
  We pray that You would lead us to truly know ourselves: our wounds 
and our vulnerabilities, our talents and our true callings.
  We ask You to deepen our sensitivity to the needs and legitimate 
aspirations of people beyond our borders. We remember especially this 
morning our neighbors in Mexico.
  As we consider the issues before us this day, grant us the serenity 
to accept things we cannot change, the courage to change things we can, 
and the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.
