                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 12 noon.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Psalm 40:
  Blessed is man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the 
proud, to those who go astray after false gods. Thou hast multiplied O 
Lord my God, Thy wondrous deeds and Thy thoughts toward us; none can 
compare with Thee. Were I to proclaim and tell all of them, they would 
be more than can be numbered. But may all who seek Thee rejoice and be 
glad in Thee; may those who love Thy salvation say continually, ``Great 
is the Lord.'' Amen.
