                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of mercy, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House as they depart the Nation's 
Capital to return to their homes. May they find rest and renewal during 
their time with family and friends.
  Bless our Nation as holy days of religious traditions for so many of 
our citizens approach and as the year comes to a close. Help us to look 
to the future with hope, committed to a renewed effort to work together 
as citizens of a united America.
  Help us all to be truly grateful for the blessings of this past year.
  As always, we pray that whatever is done this day be for Your greater 
honor and glory.
  Amen.
