Vol. 144


WASHINGTON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1998

No. 25

House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer: Grant us, O God, the vision to see not only what is before us, 
but to lift our eyes to those things eternal and lasting. May the 
verities of faith and hope and love ennoble our souls and give solace 
and grace to us at every hour. With the cluttered and crowded days of 
work and the endless demands on time and attention, may we seek Your 
still small voice that pardons and forgives, that enables great acts of 
justice, that grants peace and serenity, that strengthens and makes 
whole. O gracious God from whom all blessings flow, bless our lives 
this day and every day, we pray. Amen.
