House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  O God of faithfulness and justice, You guide everything with wisdom. 
You bind people together in love and friendship. Accept this prayer for 
our Nation. Keep the United States of America close to You.
  May the light of Your kingdom be found in noble deeds performed today 
by Your people across this Nation. May they produce a rich harvest of 
equal justice for all to share.
  By Your spirit, renew the Members of Congress as Your instruments of 
security and peace. Be with them now and forever. Amen.
