                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As Members return to the Capitol after 2 weeks of gatherings and work 
in their home districts, may they be renewed in energy to address the 
issues of these historic days.
  May a sincere love for and dedication to our form of government 
prevail over partisan interests, that our experiment in republican 
democracy might perdure into a hopeful future.
  May we all be forever grateful that our Nation was founded by gifted 
politicians, Founders who gave the world the great gift of 
representative government, having rights guaranteed by a Constitution 
truly inspired.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
