House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Elliott L. Foss, National Chaplain, American Legion, 
offered the following prayer:
  God, bless America. Continue to shine Your face on us, as we need 
Your guidance and protection now, more than ever. God, bless America, 
our President, our national, State, and community leaders as they seek 
to serve our citizens.
  God, bless America. Bless these folks here today. I ask You to give 
them grace and peace, that as they seek Your face, impart to them Your 
wisdom, Your courage, and Your hope, that they will do Your will at all 
times.
  Please, God, bless America and our citizens who seek to live in peace 
and harmony as ``One Nation under God.'' Encourage us to do the right 
thing, at the right time, for the right reason.
  May Your love surround our military and their families each and every 
day and please, God, bless America and bring our troops safely home 
when all is done.
  Amen.
