                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Andrew Walton, Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  In the name, spirit, and way of all faith traditions of our Nation 
and world, we pray that the light, peace, hope, compassion, and joy of 
the season may be ours today.
  As the Members and staff of this Congress complete their work at hand 
and return to communities and families for rest, respite, and 
celebration, may their lives be enriched and renewed. May those who 
stay behind to keep the embers of government aglow also be blessed with 
slower pace and lighter workload.
  May the many people of our land for whom holidays are not so merry or 
bright be comforted in loss, healed in sickness, and sustained in their 
needs through the compassion, generosity, and love of fellow brothers 
and sisters guided by divine spirit.
  May grace and blessings be upon our Nation and the entire planet as 
we celebrate this season of peace and seek to serve and live that same 
peace each and every day.
  Amen.NOTICE
