House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  As we bring to an end this 106th Congress, grant good closure to our 
work and stability to this Nation.
  May we take leave of one another in peace and be agents of 
reconciliation for Your people.
  As we approach religious holy days and celebrate family holidays, 
grant us joyful spirits and safe travel.
  May we bring happiness to those we love and all we meet.
  May hearts filled with generosity and charity bring good news to the 
poor and those most in need.
  Bless us now and forever.
  Amen.
  The SPEAKER. The Chair thanks the Chaplain for his optimism.
