                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 11 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  May peace and unity decide our acts
  for others' gain,
  so that each moment would provide
  a time for thought to reign.
  O God who blesses each good deed
  and loathes all undue pride,
  encourage us by every creed,
  our wills in peace allied. Amen.
