House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember with gratitude and thanksgiving the life and work of our 
colleague, Steve Schiff, and we recall his life with a deep and lasting 
appreciation. We pray that your blessing, O God, would be with his 
family and upon all those who loved him and who received his love and 
his grace.
  We remember the great traits that he brought to his responsibilities 
as a Member of this body and we are aware how this institution was 
ennobled by his integrity and his honesty. He was a friend to so many 
and his ideas and counsel made a difference for good in the history of 
our Nation. For his wisdom and sound judgment, for the dignity and 
intellect that he carried with him, for his commitment to the people he 
represented and for the love of family that he showed, we offer our 
thanks and praise.
  May your peace, O God, that passes all human understanding, be with 
his family and with each of us now and evermore. Amen.
