                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  We give You thanks, O God, for giving us another day.
  During this week, the National Defense Authorization Act is being 
debated on the floor of the House. May all Members be imbued with Your 
wisdom, that the results of their deliberations might redound to the 
benefit of our Nation.
  Bless all those whose lives are dedicated to the defense and service 
of the United States, most especially those who serve in uniform in the 
Armed Forces. May they be safe in the execution of their duties, and 
their families blessed with Your comforting presence in their lives.
  Thank You, O God, for the privilege of being able to serve, and may 
all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
