                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 2 p.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using words of Psalm 46.
  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
  Therefore we will not fear though the Earth should change, though the 
mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and 
foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
  Come behold the works of the Lord, how He has wrought desolations in 
the Earth.
  He makes wars cease to the end of the Earth; He breaks the bow, and 
shatters the spear; He burns the chariots with fire.
  Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations. I 
am exalted in the Earth.
  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Amen.
