                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O Lord, down through the ages You have taught us to seek Your 
kingdom. In our search we will not lose our way if we approach You with 
the free abandon of trust and the sheer delight of a child.
  May pride not steel our hearts or arrogance distort our vision so 
that we would go after things far beyond us.
  Rather, give peace to the soul of this Nation and the Members of this 
House. Free us from any restlessness in silence that we may listen more 
deeply to Your word in human hearts.
  As a child takes rest in the wrapped arms of a parent, may our trust 
in You, Lord, be full-weighted and lasting.
  O America, hope in the Lord both now and forever.
  Amen.
