                                 PRAYER

  The Reverend Danny Cochran, Pastor, Holly Creek Baptist Church, 
Chatsworth, Georgia, offered the following prayer:
  Heavenly Father, since the beginning of our Nation its leaders and 
people have called upon You seeking guidance, protection and blessings. 
You have heard those prayers and blessed this great Nation in ways that 
defy description. The Psalmist wrote, ``Blessed is the nation whose God 
is the Lord.'' This Nation has truly experienced the reality of those 
words. We humbly thank You for the freedom and many other blessings 
that we enjoy.
  Today, we turn to You again. The ladies and gentlemen of this House 
of Representatives will make decisions that will affect multitudes of 
people for many years to come. We pray that You will give them insight 
and wisdom as they deliberate these important issues. Help them to 
choose what is right and good.
  We pray Your continued blessings upon this Nation, its people, 
President, and those who protect her freedom. Amen.
