                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Compassionate and merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day.
  Give the Members of this House strength, fortitude, and patience. 
Fill their hearts with charity, their minds with understanding, their 
wills with courage to do the right thing for all of America.
  In the work to be done in the week to come, may they rise together to 
accomplish what is best for our great Nation.
  Yesterday we honored--and we thank You for--the service rendered to 
all the world of the Monuments Men of World War II. May we always be 
grateful for the genius in our midst and the efforts of those who labor 
to preserve the patrimony of our human civilization.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
