  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are aware, O God, that the thoughts we think are translated into 
words and our words are transposed into action and all that we do has 
great effect on us and those whom we represent and serve. Remind us day 
by day, O God, that what we think or say or do has a profound 
impression on the meaning and substance of all things. May Your word of 
peace be made known in our lives and may all we ask or think or do 
bring glory to Your creation and serve people whatever their need. In 
Your name, we pray. Amen.
