                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As this Chamber lies silent and Members disperse to celebrate the 
holy days with their families, we ask Your blessing upon them and upon 
us all.
  Massive pressures hang over them and our Nation. During these days of 
quiet, send an abundance of Your gifts of wisdom, knowledge, 
understanding and good will that the concerns of America's citizens 
might be assuaged by good policy and solutions that will guarantee a 
secure future.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
