                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  At the beginning of this day we pause in the quiet of this place to 
offer our thanks and praise to You, O God, for the wonderful gifts of 
love that You have made available to us and to all people. We know that 
we were not created to be alone, but to share in the blessings that You 
have given, to care for one another in our sorrows and to celebrate 
together in our joys. Whatever our situation we are grateful, O God, 
that You are with us and will never depart from us. For these and all 
Your blessings, we offer these words of prayer. Amen.
