                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. We ask Your 
special blessing upon the Members of this people's House. As so many 
Americans have communicated to them this past week, there is great 
concern for our future.
  Give all Members wisdom, patience, discernment, and courage to use 
the information they have, the broader understanding of the national 
concerns, and the responsibility they have been given to lead this 
Nation into a balanced and secure future.
  Grant a double portion of a great profit's spirit. Bless them, O God, 
and be with them and with us all this day and every day to come. May 
all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
