                                 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 among the Members of this people's 
House. They face difficult decisions in difficult times, with many 
forces and interests demanding their attention.
  In these days, give wisdom to all the Members that they might execute 
their responsibilities to the benefit of all Americans, especially 
those who work for less than a living wage and struggle to make ends 
meet, and those who would work but are unable to find sustainable 
employment.
  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.
