                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. The 
Members of this people's House will be leaving for an extended weekend. 
Many will be traveling to Normandy on the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a 
day when thousands of American soldiers joined forces with our allies 
to begin the liberation of Europe.
  As the world remembers that offensive in that great war, may we here 
at home be truly grateful for the sacrifices of so many whose efforts 
helped to guarantee the conflict-free North Atlantic world we have all 
lived with through these 70-odd years since that fateful day.
  May we never forget the danger of hypernationalism that can lead to a 
reduced respect for those who are the ``other,'' and a world where 
nations when acting only in their own self-interest, can fail to see 
Your presence in their neighborhoods.
  May all that is done this day, and in the days to come, be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
