          HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, October 6, 1999

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Michael A. Nagy, Faith Evangelical Congregational 
Church, York, Pennsylvania, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father and our God, it is with great joy, thanksgiving, and 
humility that we enter into Your presence this day as we lift up the 
Members of the 106th Congress to You. We ask that, as they govern, they 
will do so with divine grace, mercy, wisdom, and direction.
  As You are ruler of all nations, we pray that You would rule in us 
today. As a nation, may we recover our awe of You. Refresh us with Your 
unfailing love. Revive our hearts. Renew our vision. Revitalize our 
sense of national purpose. Rekindle within us patriotism's flame. 
Restore in us our Founding Fathers' convictions of justice and 
equality.
  This we pray through Him who reigns with You, both now and evermore. 
Amen.
