                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Stephen Roth, Congregation Eitz Chaim, Passaic, New Jersey, 
offered the following prayer:
  Our Father in Heaven, we ask that You bestow Your blessings on the 
Members of this House of Representatives so that their deliberations be 
just and with wisdom to benefit the people they represent. Guide them 
with Your kindness, and shower them with Your love.
  This past week, we observed Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember 
those who gave their lives in defense of our great land and the 
freedoms that we enjoy. Let us remember that there are many people in 
the world that still do not enjoy these freedoms. We ask that these as 
yet oppressed people be granted the same freedoms we enjoy as a free 
nation, speedily in our time.
  We pray for peace, not only for the citizens of this great land, but 
for peace among nations. May we soon see the day as prophesied by 
Isaiah: ``No nation shall lift their swords against another, and may we 
learn of war no more.''
  Amen.
