                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all creation, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As this Chamber lies silent still, we pray for hope as many Americans 
experience anxiety about their future.
  Send a spirit of wisdom and good judgment upon the leaders of 
Congress that they might forge a solution to assuage the concerns of 
their fellow citizens.
  Send us Your spirit so that there might be peace on Earth and good 
will among all men and women.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
