House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Chaplain James T. Akers, Kansas American Legion, Madison, Kansas, 
offered the following prayer:
  Holy God, Giver of Peace and Author of Truth, we acknowledge Your 
rule over our lives and the life of this Nation. We know You have plans 
for us and the power to make them happen. Give our representatives a 
vision of Your will for America today. Help us to always remember that 
we serve a great people and hold a sacred trust on their behalf. May we 
see that no Nation lives for itself alone, but is responsible to You 
for the well-being of Your creation. Now, let Your blessing rest upon 
this House, its leadership, its dedicated Members and staff, and of 
course this very great country. All this we pray in Your most gracious 
name. Amen.
