                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal Father, You have taught us that even good leaders must 
themselves be led; that wise legislators must themselves have a wiser 
guide; that wielders of power must themselves serve under a higher 
power. Be to all in this Chamber that leader, wise guide, and higher 
power.
  Grant to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and to all who 
serve or have served here as Members, as to all in positions of public 
trust, that lofty vision, deeper wisdom and that stewardship of power 
that will lead this Nation to peace and prosperity and bring true 
righteousness and lasting justice upon this Earth.
  Such gifts come from You alone, Heavenly Father, so we turn to You, 
both now and forever. Amen.
