                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  The people's House prepares to welcome the President of the United 
States this day, as well as the other governmental, judicial, and 
military leadership of our Nation. The world watches as America's great 
experiment in civilian self-government is in high relief.
  May all who populate these hallways this day be possessed of goodwill 
and a shared commitment to guarantee the freedoms and responsibilities 
inspired by the soaring rhetoric and subsequent actions of our American 
ancestors.
  May all that is said and done in this Chamber today redound to the 
benefit of our Nation and glory of Your holy name.
  Amen.
