                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We thank You once again that we, Your creatures, can come before You 
and ask guidance for the men and women of this assembly. Send Your 
spirit of peace, honesty, and fairness during these weeks of political 
campaign. May their ears and hearts be open to listen to the hopes and 
needs of those whom they represent and those whom they seek to 
represent.
  Bless the people of this great Nation with wisdom, knowledge, and 
understanding, that they might responsibly participate in our American 
democracy.
  Please keep all who work for the people's House in good health, that 
they might faithfully fulfill the great responsibility given them in 
their service to the work of the Capitol.
  Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done here be for 
Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
