Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1994

No. 48


Senate

The Senate was not in session today. Its next meeting will be held on 
Friday, April 29, 1994, at 9 a.m.





House of Representatives

Thursday, April 28, 1994
  The House met at 12 noon.
  Rev. Douglas Tanner, executive director, Faith and Politics 
Institute, Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, we convene today, conscious of having spent yesterday recalling 
the life and the era of President Richard M. Nixon, and we find 
ourselves remembering over 40 years of history.
  Guide us, we pray, to know more deeply the history that has shaped 
us--as individuals, as communities, as a nation, as a community of 
nations. Connect our souls with both our grief and our greatness. Lead 
us to know the truth, and grant us the grace to be set free by it.
  Strengthen our faith that while the moral arc of the universe may be 
long, it does bend toward justice--and compassion--and human dignity--
for all. Be especially this week with the people of South Africa as 
they receive encouragement to embrace that truth. Be with the people of 
Bosnia as they are given cause to doubt it.
  Instill within each of us, we pray, a consciousness that You call us 
to follow that arc, and to help bend it. Amen.
