                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  The Members of this House return to address issues of concern to the 
Nation. Give them the gifts of discernment and patience in the work 
that faces them.
  Even so, a major storm approaches the Carolinas, promising 
disruptions to life and safety in the coastal States, as well as 
impacting travel for many Members.
  May this be a time, with Your grace, for Americans to demonstrate 
good will toward their neighbors, and patience as well, with the 
difficult responsibilities of those in government when natural disaster 
is imminent. We thank You for the courage of those charged with 
responding to the impact of the storm in the coming days, and ask that 
all would be safe and secure.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
