                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  In this Chamber, where the people's House gathers, we pause to offer 
You gratitude for the gift of this good land on which we live, and for 
this great Nation which You have inspired in developing over so many 
years. Continue to inspire the American people, that through any 
difficulties these days we might keep liberty and justice alive in our 
Nation, and in the world.
  Soon the Members return from their August recess. May they be 
refreshed and renewed in their dedication to the affairs of this 
Congress, so that those issues that need addressing for the benefit of 
our Nation and all its citizens be dispatched in a timely and exemplary 
manner.
  Bless our Nation as we honor a great American hero, Senator John 
McCain, and thank You for having called him to a life of service well 
executed. May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
