                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, You glory in Your people even more than the artisan or 
craftsman delights in the work of their hands. More than a parent takes 
joy in the graduation of a son or daughter, do You glory in us as Your 
children.
  May we in turn prove worthy of Your love and attention by listening 
and caring for one another and the generation to come. May this House 
and this Nation prove truly responsive to present needs and responsible 
for future results. Guide us by the spirit of freedom so that we may 
prove to be Your model for other nations.
  We call out to the world to rejoice with us and to learn from us.
  O praise the Lord, all you nations; acclaim Him, all you peoples. 
Strong is His love for us; He is faithful forever. Amen.
