House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O Lord, open my lips.
  And my mouth shall declare Your praise. O Lord, give us voice that 
Your justice be heard again on Earth; and Your goodness be revealed in 
signs of unity and peace.
  May all the words echoed in this Chamber today spring forth from Your 
spirit living in the hearts of this Nation.
  Let Your truth and Your beauty be our guide as we gather to serve the 
common good.
  We ask Your blessing now and forever. Amen.
