  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Dr. Calvin C. Turpin, National Chaplain, The American Legion, 
Hollister, California, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father and our God, ruler of all nations, recognizing that this 
is a day that Thou hast made, we rejoice in the blessing it brings. We 
thank thee for giving us this great and good land for our heritage. 
Bless America with noble industry and successful business, productive 
educational institutions, and kind and gentle manners.
  Spare us from violence, discord, and confusion. Grant to us the 
ability to preserve the liberties that come from Thee. Make of us one 
united people, with justice and fairness that prevails without 
question; that there be peace among all nations and all people. Bless 
President Bush. Guide those who legislate, and grant wisdom to those 
who judge. Help America become the greater Nation she is capable of 
becoming. Amen.
