                        House of Representatives

  This being the day fixed by the 20th Amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States, for the meeting of the 116th Congress of the United 
States, the Representatives-elect met in their Hall, and at noon were 
called to order by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Hon. 
Karen L. Haas.
  Reverend Emanuel Cleaver, St. James United Methodist Church, Kansas 
City, Missouri, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty and endearing God, whose Lordship is just and true, we bow 
in recognition of that Godship in this hallowed and consequential 
moment of inaugurating a Speaker to preside over and provide leadership 
to the House of Representatives of the United States.
  May we temporarily hush our preoccupation with vexing considerations 
that deplete our energy and consume our hours to seek now favor from 
Thou whose immaculate voting record demonstrates our need of Thy 
guidance.
  We pray, O Lord, for wisdom sufficient to lean not on our unaided 
privilege and power to embrace our summons to address the great 
challenges of this day that are fraught with tribalism at home and 
turbulence abroad.
  Thou who has the whole world in His hand, to Thee we pray for inner 
resources to rise as a legislative body above political selfishness and 
then shrink to a level of humility and penitence that would be in 
harmony with Your will.
  When we leave this place, we will, with Your blessing, launch a bold 
attempt to become the architects of a kindlier Nation that is purging 
itself of any and all prejudices which degrade the unmatched blessings 
You have awarded the people of this great Nation.
  Inspire us, the Members of this august body, to dedicate ourselves to 
the healing of open sores in a land where there is far too much 
mistrust and enmity of those who are different.
  Led now in this temple of governance by the Speaker and leaders of 
both sides of the political aisle, we pray for Your presence in this 
place.
  We need Thee every hour. O Lord, how we need thee. When we are 
puzzled, guide us with Your hand of direction. When we are worn and 
wearied, grant us light to find a just and fair way, and when we are 
confused, anoint our priorities and pet projects so that any diminutive 
success may give You the glory.
  Receive now this prayer, O Lord.
  Amen.


                          Pledge of Allegiance

  The CLERK. The Representatives-elect and their guests will please 
remain standing and join in the Pledge of Allegiance.
  The Clerk led the Pledge of Allegiance as follows:

       I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of 
     America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation 
     under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

  The CLERK. As directed by law, the Clerk of the House has prepared 
the official roll of the Representatives-elect.
  Certificates of election covering 434 seats in the 116th Congress 
have been received by the Clerk of the House. The Clerk has not 
received a certificate of election from the Ninth District of the State 
of North Carolina. The names of those persons whose credentials show 
that they were regularly elected as Representatives in accord with the 
laws of their respective States or of the United States will be called.
  The Representatives-elect will record their presence by electronic 
device and their names will be reported in alphabetical order by State, 
beginning with the State of Alabama, to determine whether a quorum is 
present.
  Representatives-elect will have a minimum of 15 minutes to record 
their presence by electronic device.
  Representatives-elect who have not obtained their voting ID cards may 
do so now in the Speaker's lobby.
  The call was taken by electronic device, and the following 
Representatives-elect responded to their names:
