                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As the two parties negotiate the funding of government in these 
waning days of the first session, grant them a surfeit of wisdom and a 
spirit of cooperation in ongoing negotiations.
  Continue to bless our Nation with a sense of peace and healing as the 
victims of San Bernardino are being laid to rest. During this holy 
season, continue to be with us.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
