                                 PRAYER

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's prayer will be offered by our guest 
Chaplain, Father Patrick J. Conroy, the Chaplain of the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. We thank 
You for Your ongoing presence and sustaining grace in us all and Your 
concern for our Nation.
  Continue to bless and inspire the men and women who serve in the 
Senate. May they be encouraged by any movement that has occurred and 
may the hopes and prayers of the American people, and indeed the world, 
for healthy and productive legislation be met with results inspired by 
Your Spirit.
  Forgive our failures, our lack of faith. May the good intentions of 
all acting in this Chamber be rewarded by solutions to our struggles 
that benefit our Nation.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.

                          ____________________
