                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Reverend Dr. Rodney H. Travis, First Baptist Church, Ellisville, 
Missouri, offered the following prayer:
  Our Heavenly Father, we lift up our hearts in gratitude to You for 
our great Nation. We thank You for the stirring history of our people, 
for our achievements of the past, and for our great leaders who have 
given so much for our freedom today.
  Guide our Nation in the way of truth and peace and let justice roll 
down like waters, and righteousness like an ever flowing stream. Help 
us to always remember that blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord.
  We ask Your blessing and guidance upon the men and women of Congress, 
that they be filled with the love of truth and righteousness and that 
You would direct their deliberation and legislation.
  In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
