                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  On this day, in the midst of sometimes contentious debate, we ask 
again that You give all Members peace and patience, with wisdom and 
courage to do what is best for our Nation.
  Perplexing and competing questions and answers challenge us all to 
remember that our Nation is a people descended from immigrants, most in 
history, and many in faith. May all Americans, and those Members who 
represent them here, rise to the challenge of these days and prove to 
be the best of ourselves.
  As always, may all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
