                                 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, in the midst of great debate and hard work, we ask 
again that You give all Members 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, 
relying on 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.
