                                 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.
  We ask today that You bless the Members of the people's House to be 
the best and most faithful servants of the people they serve.
  On this day, Congress honors the life of Senator Daniel Inouye, who 
lies in state in the rotunda. He was the first to serve his State in 
this assembly. He served his country for decades as a true patriot, 
soldier, legislator, statesman, and gentleman--always thousands of 
miles from his own home.
  Endow the Members of this assembly with a measure of the courage, 
integrity, and loyalty of such an exemplar of public service.
  And may all that is done this day in the people's House be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
