                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 1 p.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal Father of all, You teach by touching human hearts, which is 
far beyond simply changing minds or forming new language.
  By converting deepest desires, You shape priorities of true concern 
and focus attention on lasting ideas that have penetrating 
consequences.
  Your presence in our midst is manifested by marvelous deeds which 
consume debatable words.
  Send now Your spirit upon the Members of the House of 
Representatives, that they may see beyond present dilemmas and know in 
their hearts what is the right course for our future as a Nation in 
this world community. Remove the clouds of fear and confusion. Instead, 
by Your spirit guide all to right judgment.
  And may Your people discover an inner freedom which confirms their 
decisions and provides a joy in serving You, now and forever. Amen.
