  The House met at 2 p.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, gracious God, that You would watch over us and keep us in 
Your favor, that You would support us in our obligations and direct us 
in the right path, that You would sustain us in our endeavors and point 
us to the way of truth. O loving God, from whom we have come and to 
whom we shall return, may Your peace that passes all human 
understanding abound in our lives. Though we may depart from You, O 
God, may Your grace and mercy never depart from us. This is our earnest 
prayer. Amen.
