House of Representatives

  The House met at 9:30 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  ``Open my eyes, Lord, that I may see the wonders of Your law.''
  The longest of the Psalms, Psalm 119, studies many facets of law so 
that people down through the ages would be fascinated by the full 
impact of the law's meaning.
  The law's deepest impression, however, comes when Your law is taken 
to heart. Law then becomes the pulsating rhythm that unites people in 
every step of every day. Law transforms the source of breathing in 
freedom and exhaling corruption.
  Your law, O Lord, brings fulfillment to the individual and salvation 
to society.
  Bless and guide the lawmakers of this Chamber and of this land now 
and forever. Amen.
