                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  The summer sun throws its intensity upon us, O Lord, with free 
abandon.
  The growth of the Earth responds readily to its heat; but the 
temperature of the human body is just enough to keep us healthy.
  Cool tempers and agitation, Lord, with the gentle breeze of Your 
spirit.
  Help the Members of Congress today in their deliberations and plans 
for the Nation's security and peace.
  The present burdens are light enough when they earn for us the 
eternal weight of Your glory, which is beyond comparison.
  May the inner balance of nature and the external graces You provide 
guide America through the present to lay the foundation of hope for the 
world and for eternal glory above all else.
  For out of nowhere, Lord, You can stir the wind now and forever. 
Amen.
