                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
  We recognize, O God, that as we focus on our communities and our 
world there are voices of anger and acts of violence. Yet, we know too 
that there are voices of singing and acts of kindness and love. We know 
there is pain and we know there is joy, there is enmity and there is 
reconciliation.
  Teach us, gracious God, so to number our days that our mouths will 
speak of wisdom and faith and our deeds will be of justice and 
righteousness.
  Bless all Your people, O God, this day and every day, we pray.
  Amen.
