  The House met at 11 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Your goodness to us, O God, is beyond our measure and Your grace to 
us is not restrained. In spite of missing the mark and seeing too much 
our own way, You allow your blessings to flow and Your mercies never to 
cease. We pray that this day we will open our hearts and minds to the 
daily gifts of faith and hope and love and pray that these gifts will 
brighten our day and make us faithful in Your service. In Your name, we 
pray. Amen.
