                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of grace and goodness, thank You for giving us another day.
  Your divine wisdom and power are abundantly sufficient for our many 
needs. Endow the Members of this assembly with a loyalty that never 
wavers and a courage that never falters as they seek to fulfill the 
high and holy mission which You have entrusted to them.
  May it be their purpose and all of ours to see to the hopes of so 
many Americans that we authenticate the grandeur and glory of the 
ideals and principles of our democracy with the work we do.
  Grant that the men and women of the people's House find the courage 
and wisdom to work together to forge solutions to the many needs of our 
Nation and ease the anxieties of so many.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
