                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 11 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  In all the troubled moments in an unsteady world when we think of the 
promises of a better day tempered with the tensions between nations and 
peoples, we look to Your presence in our lives, O gracious God, and ask 
for Your blessing upon us. When we seek direction, we know where we can 
go; when we seek solace we know where to find comfort; when we seek 
encouragement, we know that You will inspire and support. May Your 
peace, O God, that passes all human understanding, be with us and 
remain with us now and evermore. Amen.
