            HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, May 12, 1999

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O almighty God, creator of heaven and earth, we pray that in all the 
seasons of life we can have trust and confidence in Your word. In times 
of plenty, give us grateful hearts; in times of sadness or worry, grant 
us hope; in times of need, hear our petitions; in times of anxiety, 
give us serenity; in times of discouragement, grant us faith; and in 
times of loneliness may we have a full measure of Your love and Your 
grace. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
