                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  On this quiet day during a week of constituent visits, we ask again 
that You give all Members of the people's House peace and patience, 
with wisdom and courage to do what is best for our Nation.
  May they and may we all be concerned, not only with our personal 
interests, but with the needs of those who live each day without power 
and without influence. Your Word has universally admonished us to take 
special care of the poor and assist them in their need.
  Our Nation has been blessed among nations. We often say this with 
pride, but must also say this in gratitude. May those who struggle 
trust that they can rely upon the goodness and generosity of we who 
have been given so much.
  As always, may all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
