  This being the day fixed by the 20th amendment to the Constitution 
for the annual meeting of the Congress of the United States, the 
Members-elect of the 104th Congress met in their Hall, and at 12 noon, 
were called to order by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, the 
Honorable Donnald K. Anderson.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With gratefulness and praise and with a sense of duty and honor, we 
express our thanksgivings, O gracious God, that we have the opportunity 
to serve at this time and place. When we contemplate the demands of 
justice and the high calling to public service, we pray that Your 
spirit will illumine our minds, strengthen our resolve and give us 
hearts of wisdom, tolerance, and compassion. May each person be 
faithful to the vocation of Government service, that we will be good 
stewards of the resources of the land, hold to the standards of 
integrity and loyalty and do all those good things that honor You and 
serve people everywhere. May Your benediction, O God, that is new every 
morning and is with us in all the moments of life, continue to bless us 
and keep us in Your grace, now and evermore. As the prophet Micah has 
said, ``And what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, to 
love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.'' Amen.


                          pledge of allegiance

  The Clerk. Will the Members-elect and their guests please remain 
standing and join with us in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
  The Clerk led the Pledge of Allegiance as follows:

       I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United 
     States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, 
     one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice 
     for all.

  The Clerk. Representatives-elect, this is the day fixed by the 20th 
amendment to the Constitution and Public Law 103-395 for the meeting of 
the 104th Congress and, as the law directs, the Clerk of the House has 
prepared the official roll of the Representatives-elect.
  Certificates of election covering 428 seats in the 104th Congress 
have been received by the Clerk of the House, and the names of those 
persons whose credentials show that they were regularly elected as 
Representatives in accordance with the laws of their respective States 
or of the United States will be called.
  The Clerk lays before the House the following communication from the 
Secretary of the State of the State of Alabama.

                                                 State of Alabama,


                             Office of the Secretary of State,

                                Montgomery, AL, December 19, 1994.
     Hon. Donnald K. Anderson,

     will notify you immediately.
           Sincerely,
                                                      Jim Bennett,
                                               Secretary of State.
