             HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Friday, June 18, 1999

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  You have given us Your word, gracious God, that You are with us in 
all the moments of life. Those times when we are filled with exaltation 
and wonder and joy and those times when we feel the pressures of life 
that cause anxiety and worry.
  We pray, O loving God, that we would be surrounded by Your gracious 
spirit and strengthened by Your mighty hand. Help us to turn away from 
only our private interests and see instead how we can help and support 
others through our friendship, our concerns and our love.
  In Your name we pray. Amen.
