  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Colin Kelly III, Trinity-on-the-Hill Episcopal Church, 
Los Alamos, NM, offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God, bless these men and women of the House of 
Representatives. Endow them with wisdom, courage, and strength to know 
and to do Your will. Inspire them to rise above differences and see 
common tasks with Your vision.
  We pray for the President of these United States, and all in 
authority, that they may always remember to look in trust to You as 
they fulfill their daily responsibilities.
  We pray also for all the people of our country. We seek justice, 
freedom, and peace. Help us always to remember that freedom comes with 
responsibility and peace comes at the price of lives sacrificed. Give 
us Your peace.
  Purify our hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Through 
Christ Jesus we pray. Amen.
