  The House met at 9:30 a.m. and was called to order by the Speaker.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we naturally look to our own needs, wishes, and petitions, help us 
to discern, O God, that our faith is not limited only to ourselves and 
our own concerns, but we are enrolled in the human family and we accept 
our responsibility in that family. So we should pray for each other, 
encourage and forgive one another, and live together in a spirit of 
respect and appreciation. May our prayers bring us a greater awareness 
of the human family, may our mutual concerns help us grow beyond our 
own boundaries, and may Your spirit lead us in the paths of peace. 
Amen.
