House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, by Your power and graceful ways that touch us humanly, create a 
future of promise for this country. In Congress, create new settings of 
hope where Your kingdom of realized truth and promised justice may 
become more apparent in all its saving power.
  May the Members of the House of Representatives face the challenges 
of the present and the future with confidence in You and in the people. 
Help them, Lord, never to lose heart in the face of resistance, 
adversity, and scandal. Enable them to overcome every separation 
between faith and life and reject every false dichotomy of faith and 
expediency. Thus may they extend Your reign of peace and love and give 
You glory now and forever. Amen.
