House of Representatives

Monday, December 4, 2000
  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  As winter times descend upon this Nation, we gather today to seek the 
warmth of Your guidance and the strength to face cold, realistic winds, 
O Lord.
  Though the days grow shorter our minds and hearts are in need of Your 
Spirit to broaden our vision and unite a nation.
  Grant Your people patience. Teach us wisdom in our waiting.
  As color fades from the earth help us to break deep down into new 
depths of understanding and once again be rooted in the principles of 
our constitution.
  May the Members of this House and all public servants of the court 
and government be agents of stability and Your instruments of peace now 
and forever. Amen.
