          HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, November 9, 2006



  The House met at 2 p.m.
  The Reverend Eugene F. Hemrick, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 
Washington, DC, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, in a beautiful lunette in the Library of Congress across 
from our U.S. Capitol, your psalmist implores us:
  ``Wisdom is the principal thing. Therefore, get wisdom. And with all 
thy getting, get understanding.''
  May the Congress whose office is to serve our citizens be filled with 
a renewed taste for the goodness that wisdom advocates. May it be 
graced with profound insights and the wise discernment that 
understanding espouses. May wisdom and understanding reign here, 
reflecting Your love among us and for our Nation.
  Amen.
