                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Sovereign God, we thank You that we have the privilege of living in 
this land of freedom. This afternoon, as we go to meet in the Chamber 
of the House of Representatives to count the Electoral College votes, 
give us a renewed sense of patriotism for our Nation and our 
Constitution. We ask Your blessing of wisdom and strength on President-
elect George W. Bush and Vice President Cheney as they are confirmed in 
this historic meeting according to the 12th amendment. God, continue to 
bless America. Amen.
