                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Two years have passed, but we have not forgotten. America will never 
forget the evil attack on September 11, 2001. But let us not be 
overwhelmed by repeated TV images that bring back paralyzing fear and 
make us vulnerable once again. Instead, in a moment of silence, let us 
stand tall and be one with the thousands of faces lost in the dust; let 
us hold in our minds those who still moan over the hole in their lives.
  With pride and purpose let us recall survivors and ordinary heroes 
and heroines who came to rescue, carry, heal, lift up, tear down, pray 
confidently, and create anew. With determined faith and heartfelt 
compassion, let us today be united in silent prayer. Amen.
