                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  We give You thanks, O God, for giving us another day.
  We ask Your blessing this day upon the Members of the people's House. 
May their labors be graced by Your gifts of wisdom, patience, and 
charity, that truth and righteousness might prevail in all their 
proceedings.
  We take special note, at the end of National Peace Officers Memorial 
Week, of the 126 peace officers who have died this past year in the 
line of duty. We ask that You grant them eternal rest for having paid 
the ultimate price in protecting us.
  Give their families consolation in mourning their loss. May they be 
assured that we, as a Nation, hold them in our hearts and understand 
that we will always be indebted to them.
  May all that is done within the people's House this day be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
