                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, this Nation places its trust in You. Your Divine Providence 
is most reliable; it is Your timing we find difficult to accept. 
Yesterday, poised for the launch of Discovery, Your people were ready 
to celebrate its climb to the heavens. But a technical indicator gave 
pause. The Nation stepped back while specialists reexamined their work.
  We bless You and praise You for this revelation and the future safety 
and success it grants human efforts to explore the marvels of Your 
universe on another day.
  Today, as the House of Representatives commits itself to the work of 
the people, may all be more sensitive to the art of timing. Grant Your 
servants patience with themselves and others until all helpful 
possibilities are explored and Your righteous will is agreed upon for 
the common good.
  In You and with You the movement of lasting discovery is made now and 
forever. Amen.
