           HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Thursday, April 24, 2008


  The House met at 10 a.m.
  Chaplain Paul L. Sherouse, Wing Chaplain, Andrews Air Force Base, Air 
Force District of Washington, offered the following prayer:
  Almighty God, our gracious heavenly Father, we pause before the 
business of our Nation to remember that You have granted us a unique 
role at this moment in history.
  Blessed with government committed to preserving individual freedoms; 
an abundance of natural resources that inspire our industry; and 
educational opportunities that have resulted in scientific and 
technological achievements, we are the most powerful and wealthiest 
nation on Earth. Grant us wisdom to use these gifts in service to our 
country and our world.
  We give You special thanks for the Library of Congress, established 
208 years ago today. May its example of research and scholarship 
continue to be an example for all. Send Your holy angels to watch over 
our military. Inspire their courage, protect them from danger, grant 
success to their missions and keep their families safe and secure in 
their absence; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, my Savior. Amen.
