                                 PRAYER

  Reverend James R. Seale, Rector, All Saints Episcopal Church, 
Frederick, Maryland, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray. O God, Creator and Preserver of this world, we thank You 
for all the blessings we are so privileged to enjoy in this land. We 
give thanks for all who work at the local, State, and national levels 
to serve our citizens and uphold the freedoms we so cherish. We pray 
for a gentle heart and courage to prevail in all we do and say as we go 
about this day.
  And now I ask Your blessing on this session of the House of 
Representatives and ask that today and each day You bestow on each 
Member and their staff wisdom and perseverance to work for justice and 
peace here at home and throughout the world. Amen.
