                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Rabbi Lance Sussman, Temple Concord, Binghamton, New York, offered 
the following prayer:
  Lord Our God, God of all people, Eternal Spirit of the Universe, we 
ask for blessings on this House and on the United States of America. 
Keep us strong as a Nation. Sustain in us a deep sense of justice. 
Incline our hearts to work for the betterment of all and peace for the 
human family. Keep alive in us the memory of all those who made 
ultimate sacrifices for our benefit as a Nation.
  Bless this land with prosperity. Teach us to celebrate our 
differences and to unite around our common values. Be present with us 
in our homes, our places of work and on the way.
  We thank You, Lord, for this day and for the opportunity to serve You 
by serving others. Amen.
