                                 PRAYER

  Chaplain Major Jeff Schlenz, United States Air Force, Arlington 
Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, I come to the God of Daniel and Nehemiah, men who 
served You while filling government posts, and did so with excellence, 
and I pray: Grant those who serve in this House wisdom, ethical 
integrity, and concern for their constituents and the needs of this 
land.
  I come to the God of Cornelius, who wore the uniform of his 
government and carried a sword, and I pray: Watch over all those in 
various uniforms who sacrifice for others--whether they run toward the 
sound of guns, the crackle of flames, or the screech of metal and 
rubber--and bring them home safely to the ones they love.
  For Your glory, for the sake of this Nation, for the sake of the men 
and women in this Hall, and those that support and love them, bless us, 
I pray.
  In the name of Christ, Your Son.
  Amen.
