                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Michael Tyrrell, Jesuit Conference, Washington, D.C., 
offered the following prayer:
  Gracious and loving God, as we gather in this Chamber where the 
Members of the United States House of Representatives work for the good 
of all Americans, where discussions about the future of our country are 
held, and where decisions are made that will impact us all, we ask that 
Your wisdom be shared among all the Members so that the inspiring words 
of the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution may guide them 
along paths that lead our country in the best ways possible.
  As You have in the past, continue to watch over the entire United 
States of America and her people, especially those who are most in need 
of Your compassionate mercy and care.
  In the name of God, we pray.
  Amen.
