           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Friday, October 27, 2000

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all grace, be with us now and until the end.
  You know each of the Members of this House. You have given each 
different gifts; that together they may achieve Your purpose and bring 
about liberty and justice for all.
  You have called them forth from different places and assembled them 
in this Chamber to serve this great Nation and shape its future.
  Give them vision rooted in faith, attentive listening to the needs of 
the times, and discerning hearts to make right judgments.
  God of all grace, be with us now and forever. Amen.
