                              AFTER RECESS

  The recess having expired, the House was called to order by the 
Speaker at 2 p.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  May Your gifts of goodness and peace, O God, be upon us and all 
people; may Your blessings of joy and happiness be and abide with us 
all; may Your abundant favor touch every person in the depths of their 
hearts; and may Your comfort bring healing and assurance to all in 
need. Above all the noise of each day and above any clash or 
contention, we are thankful that Your still small voice strengthens and 
ministers to us in our very souls. For this we are eternally grateful. 
Amen.
