                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We pause in Your presence and ask guidance for the men and women of 
the people's House. Give them wisdom, strength, and love as they face 
the tasks of the waning weeks of the first session. Help them to be 
great in heart, genuine in commitment, generous in spirit, and good in 
mind that the work done may be for the highest welfare of our Nation 
and of all nations.
  Whatever the experiences that come to them and to us all this day, 
grant that we may meet them with quick confidence and never-ending 
goodwill. Keep us ever faithful to our duties, committed to doing 
justice and truth, and loyal to our Nation in its lofty ideals.
  Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done within the 
people's House be for Your greater honor and glory. Amen.
