                                 PRAYER

  Rabbi Steven I. Rein, U.S. Air Force, Arlington National Cemetery, 
Arlington, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Sovereign of the universe, the Psalmist proclaims: ``How majestic is 
Your name upon all the Earth,'' and wonders, ``What is humanity that 
You should be mindful of us?''
  We stand in awe before the beauty and majesty of Your work. We are 
humbled in a world so vast and a humanity so diverse You breathe Your 
spirit into each individual soul.
  Almighty God, bestow Your wisdom and strength upon these Members of 
the House of Representatives to dream big, securing the future of this 
great Nation. May you also grant this distinguished body the courage 
and compassion to dream small as they represent the distinct needs of 
their constituents, ever mindful of the citizens they serve.
  As Irving Berlin did 100 years ago, we pray that God bless America, 
and, I would add, may God uniquely bless each and every one of us.
  Amen.
