                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are grateful, O God, that You have made the heavens and the Earth 
and have breathed into us the very breath of life. As we express our 
petitions this day may we do so with humility and wisdom as we face the 
decisions that affect the lives of others. We earnestly pray for peace 
in our troubled world, and may Your spirit, gracious God, be with all 
those who face danger and suffering. May Your blessings surround all 
people, may Your grace be sufficient for every need and may Your love 
ever bind us together. In Your name we pray. Amen.
