House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Frederick J. Huscher, Chaplain, Riverside County 
Sheriff's Department, Riverside, California, offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious and loving Lord, quiet our restless mind so that our 
hearts may speak honestly in prayer and our spirits may listen 
carefully to Your counsel and instruction. As sovereign Lord, You have 
placed into our simple hands the overwhelming responsibility to mold 
the course of this great Nation. Lest pride cause us to forget that we 
are but Your appointed servants, cause us to strive shoulder to 
shoulder to maintain the noble heritage that we are a free Nation under 
God by Your divine will and grace. May Your Spirit direct our hearts 
and mind to seek only what is right and pure for the people of this 
land, to make decisions which protect our freedoms and promote the 
well-being of Your people. O God, we honor You as the Lord of this 
Nation. May our ministry glorify Your name and be a blessing to this 
land. Amen.
