Vol. 140


WASHINGTON, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1994

No. 86


House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we approach the celebration of the birth of our country, we are 
conscious, O God, of all the blessings that we have received. We are 
grateful for the resources of people and material gifts of spiritual 
values, and the contributions of so many traditions that have been 
woven into the fabric of our society. As we pray that we will be the 
people You would have us be, so may we, with integrity and honesty, 
look at our communities and do what we can to right the wrongs, to heal 
the divisions, to catch the vision of a united people, one in purpose 
and one in design, promoting justice, and mercy for every person. This 
is our earnest prayer. Amen.
