                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Shlomo Segal, Kehilat Moshe, Brooklyn, New York, offered the 
following prayer:
  Master of the universe, we humbly ask You to bless the endeavors of 
this noble and dedicated body, the United States House of 
Representatives. Guide the Members of this House with Your wisdom so 
that they may approach the complex challenges of our day with 
forthrightness, integrity, and, above all, compassion.
  Endow us with Your goodwill, O Lord, so that we may build bridges of 
hope which make us strong and tear down barriers of division which make 
us weak. Grant us a listening and full heart so that we may each 
understand one another and recognize the divine image inherent in every 
human being. We pray for this vision now.
  In the words of the psalmist, ``May the Lord give you grace and 
glory.'' In that spirit, may we each find the strength and courage to 
bring God's honor and glory to this great Nation.
  Amen.
