                                 PRAYER

  Father Val J. Peter, Executive Director, Girls and Boys Town USA, 
Boys Town, Nebraska, offered the following prayer:
  Dear Lord, we come before You on this fine morning to ask Your 
blessings on this House. Give wisdom and humility to all 
Representatives in their work today. May they seek what will bring 
light and goodness to our country, to our world. May they achieve what 
is best for our people.
  Let us each this day do one blessed thing for another person; ask 
pardon from another person. Bless and keep safe those who are in the 
service of our beloved country and bless especially our children, those 
who are hurt and suffering. Send people to put joy and happiness into 
their lives.
  In this we pray in Your name. Amen.
