                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving and gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another 
day.
  Bless the Members of this assembly as they set upon the work of these 
hours, of these days. Help them to make wise decisions in a good 
manner, and to carry their responsibilities steadily with high hopes 
for a better future for our great Nation.
  Deepen their faith, widen their sympathies, heighten their 
aspirations, and give them the strength to do what ought to be done for 
this country.
  May Your blessing, O God, be with them and with us all this day and 
every day to come, and may all we do be done for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
