                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, strong is Your justice, penetrating all human events 
and evaluating all human endeavors. Great is Your mercy for each of us 
as we stand before You today.
  Grant the Members of the House of Representatives freedom of spirit; 
that each may act with a well-formulated conscience and discern the 
far-reaching consequences of every decision that is made.
  While here, working in the public service of the Nation, everything 
that is done is viewed by all and open to review by others. But far 
greater is Your judgment, Lord.
  Aware that all must appear before Your judgment seat and each will 
receive recompense according to what he or she did while in Your 
service, we ask You, O Lord, to grant the vision of faith and trust in 
Your great mercy now and forever. Amen.
