                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Edward Davis, Young Israel Temple, Hollywood, FL, offered the 
following prayer:

  Avinu Shebashamayim, Our Heavenly Father, we seek Your blessing for 
wisdom every day of our lives. Recognizing our limitations, we find it 
necessary to ask You for Your guidance. There are times when we feel 
incapable of solving our problems. Yet our vision is global and 
optimistic. We feel confident that with Your assistance we will be 
successful in creating and maintaining a safe and secure environment 
for our neighborhoods, our country, and our world. Bestow Your blessing 
upon the Members of this House. Grant them good health, family 
enrichment, financial security, and the wisdom to decide issues with 
prudence and compassion. These men and women make decisions that effect 
us all. May America be rewarded by our faith in them; and may our faith 
in You, O God, be strong. Amen.
