                        House of Representatives

Saturday, August 4, 2007
  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  May the Lord bless the Members of Congress as they finalize work in 
this Chamber, return to their districts, and attend to family members 
and responsibilities.
  Grant them, and all vacationing Americans, safe travel, health and 
summer delights. May peace reign in their hearts and in their homes, 
and may true friends be there to welcome them.
  May these days of recess be a time of renewal and reflection, so that 
they return to Congress with new energy, creativity, and a spirit of 
civility that will bring forth their best instincts for intelligent 
discourse and human exchange that will model behavior for the Republic 
and show the world the shape democracy takes when you have government 
of the people, for the people, and by the people.
  Because of its unique position in human history today, God bless 
America now and forever.
  Amen.
