                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Michael J. Greer, Pastor, Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 
Miami, Florida, offered the following prayer:
  O gracious God, extend Your guidance and inspiration over this 
legislative body. May they find the ways and means to extend assistance 
to those in need, appropriate, equitably, and build up foreign 
relations to promote trust in a spirit of collaboration. Deliver the 
United States from violence and those things that divide so that we may 
be more faithful to the words we so often say, one Nation under God.
  And as we are so fortunate to be able to speak and to act freely, yet 
responsibly, may they encourage that right here and everywhere so as to 
promote liberty and justice for all.
  And so bless these Members, and as they receive suggestions from 
their constituents, so may they also receive the support they need from 
the people they represent and work for and be assured of Your 
providential care in their lives and for this Nation. Amen.
