                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Ed Schreiber, Brookhaven Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 
Nashville, Tennessee, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, Father of all, from the House of Representatives of the 
Congress of the United States of America, we offer this prayer of 
praise and thanks; also our intercessory prayer for our leaders in 
education, religion, government, and industry throughout the world.
  We implore Thy blessings upon our President, a true statesman, George 
W. Bush, his family, and members of his administration. Likewise, 
Heavenly Father, bestow Thy abundant blessings on the Members of the 
107th Congress.
  We ask Your divine blessing on our children, our greatest treasure, 
and our older people. In a broken and fearful world, give us courage to 
pray and to act with integrity for the well-being of all Thy creation. 
Amen.
