  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, the words of Psalm 62 seem most fitting for us at this time. So 
we pray:
  ``In God is our safety and our glory, the rock of our strength. Find 
your resource in God, all you people. Trust the Lord at all times. 
Common folk are only a breath, your great ones an illusion. Placed on 
the scales, they rise equally. All weigh less than a passing breath.
  ``Do not put your trust in oppression nor vain hope in plunder. Do 
not set your heart on riches even when they increase.
  ``For God has said only one thing, only two do I know. That in God 
alone is power, and toward you the Lord shows love. And that is how 
each of you is to be repaid, each according to one's deeds.'' Amen.
