                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Kenneth Nelson, Seneca Community Church, Germantown, 
Maryland, offered the following prayer:
  We bless You, our gracious God, the creator of Heaven and Earth. We--
the ancestors, the families, and friends of Seneca Community Church--
cry out to You to bestow upon this body of Representatives the wisdom 
to address the needs of our time. May they bring about a transformation 
of our country and the world to provide grace, mercy, blessings, and 
love in the name of Jesus. May they work together with a liberating 
spirit to right wrongs, to alleviate poverty, and to prevent illness. 
May they have an indomitable will to prevent injustice and to release a 
new provision of blessings for our times. May they find every 
opportunity to achieve harmony and hope, and let them never be afraid 
to become better each day. We pray for God's power and presence in us 
now and forever.
  Amen.
