                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all creation, thank You for giving us another day.
  Continue to bless the Members of this people's House as they move 
through the appropriations process here on the Hill.
  Amid the influences causing uncertainty about the future, may they be 
filled with Your spirit of wisdom and understanding in the forming of 
legislation to address the demands of our time.
  Bless the men and women who attend to those who are sick and those 
men and women responsible for the safety and security of our 
communities throughout the country.
  May all Americans live and act wisely, being sensitive to the dangers 
of group dynamics that can override personal good sense in times of 
high emotion and turmoil.
  Dear God, call us back to Your message to be not afraid and to 
receive the peace You offer in nonviolence as it was lived and modeled 
by our good friend John Lewis.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
