                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Recent events and current international tensions have many living in 
fear. Continue to be ``God With Us'' through these days of contentious 
debate around the issue of our security.
  As true statesmen and -women, may the Members of this assembly find 
the fortitude to make judgments to benefit all Americans at this time, 
and protect those who are vulnerable from those who would do them harm.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
