                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, thank You for giving us another day.
  All of Congress today remembers the heroic sacrifices and 
accomplishments of the First Special Service Force of World War II when 
Americans and Canadians formed for the first time a combined unit 
trained to be a small, elite corps capable of accomplishing the 
seemingly impossible.
  May their story be an inspiration to the Members of this people's 
House where a similar cooperative effort toward a shared common goal 
appears all too often to be seemingly impossible.
  We ask, O God, that all who populate these hallways this day be 
possessed of goodwill, appreciative of the great exploits of so many of 
our American ancestors.
  And may all that is said and done this day be for Your greater honor 
and glory.
  Amen.
