                        House of Representatives

  This being the day fixed by the 20th Amendment to the Constitution of 
the United States, for the meeting of the 117th Congress of the United 
States, the Representatives-elect met in their Hall, and at noon were 
called to order by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, Hon. 
Cheryl L. Johnson.
  Reverend Emanuel Cleaver, II, St. James United Methodist Church, 
Kansas City, Missouri, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal God, noiselessly we bow before Your throne of grace as we 
leave behind the politically and socially clamorous year of 2020. We 
gather, now, in this consequential Chamber to inaugurate another 
chapter in our roller coaster representative government. The Members of 
this august body acknowledge Your sacred supremacy and, therefore, 
confess that without Your favor and forbearance, we enter this new year 
relying, dangerously, on our own fallible nature.
  God, at a moment when many believe that the bright light of democracy 
is beginning to dim, empower us with an extra dose of commitment to its 
principles. May we, of the 117th Congress, refuel the lamp of liberty 
so brimful that generations unborn will witness its undying flame. And 
may we model community healing, control our tribal tendencies and 
quicken our spirit that we may feel Thy priestly presence even in 
moments of heightened disagreement. May we so feel Your presence that 
our service here may not be soiled by any utterances or acts unworthy 
of this high office. Insert in our spirit a light so bright that we can 
see ourselves and our politics as we really are--soiled by selfishness, 
perverted by prejudice and inveigled by ideology.
  Now, may the God who created the world and everything in it bless us 
and keep us. May the Lord make His face to shine upon us and be 
gracious unto us. May the Lord lift up the light of His countenance 
upon us and give us peace--peace in our families, peace across this 
land and dare I ask, O Lord, peace even in this Chamber, now and 
evermore. We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God and Brahma and 
God known by many names by many different faiths.
  Amen, and a woman.


                          Pledge of Allegiance

  The CLERK. The Representatives-elect and their guests will please 
remain standing and join in the Pledge of Allegiance.
  The Clerk led the Pledge of Allegiance as follows:

       I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of 
     America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation 
     under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

  The CLERK. As directed by law, the Clerk of the House has prepared 
the official roll of the Representatives-elect.
  Certificates of election covering 434 seats in the One Hundred 
Seventeenth Congress have been received by the Clerk of the House. The 
names of those persons whose credentials show that they were regularly 
elected as Representatives in accord with the laws of their respective 
States or of the United States will be called.
