                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, all the times and seasons are in Your hands because all is 
fixed by You in the laws of nature.
  But through natural disasters, Lord, many people have recently 
suffered great losses due to hurricanes and earthquakes. Have mercy on 
them all. Even as we continue to pray and assist those already 
afflicted and in great need, we now are aware of another approaching 
storm named Wilma.
  Lord, help all those who prepare for the worst. In their fear and 
anxiety keep them safe, law abiding, and compassionately concerned for 
others.
  Lord, steer this storm away from our shores, and let Your powerful 
Word calm the sea and bring to Your people a sigh of relief.
  This we hope and pray by calling upon Your Holy Name. Amen.
