  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Help us, gracious God, to see other people as they truly are with 
their own ideas, with their own traditions, and with their own 
integrity. We admit that we too often portray the character of our 
neighbor and the motivation of others in ways that do not serve the 
common good and we ought to admit our shortcoming. Lead us, O God, to 
think with clarity, to acquit ourselves with honor, and to respect all 
people for that is a mark of our humanity and the stamp of Your 
creation.
  In Your name we pray. Amen.
