                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Help us, gracious God, to take the good words we say with our lips 
and translate those words into deeds of justice and mercy. Encourage us 
to take ideas of compassion and peace, of respect and goodwill, and 
allow those thoughts to be made whole and complete by making them part 
of our daily lives. We pray, O God, that the gift of faith will find 
fulfillment in good deeds and that the blessings of this day will be 
shared by us and all people. In Your name we pray. Amen
