           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, June 13, 2007

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  To You, O Lord, we pray.
  In praying, all of us become priests who alone can lift up our 
personal lives on the altar of our hearts and consecrate all the words, 
actions, joys and sufferings of this day to You as the Lord of life. 
Just as all our intentions here in Congress can be dedicated to the 
service of the American people, especially those in most need of Your 
mercy and our persevering attention.
  When praying we become instruments of Your spirit. You move and act 
within us. Help us this day to be more aware of Your presence within us 
and in one another.
  To You, O Lord, be all glory, honor and praise today and forever.
  Amen.
