                                 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 upon 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, especially as they 
consider the most serious matter of engaging in military activity. 
Bless as well those who inform them of the issues with honest 
frankness, knowing of the dangers implied and so many uncertain 
consequences.
  Bless the men and women of this Chamber, 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.
