                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  At the beginning of a new workweek, we use this moment to be reminded 
of Your presence and to tap the resources needed by the Members of this 
people's House to do their work as well as it can be done.
  May they be led by Your Spirit in the decisions they make and be 
mindful of the millions of Americans who rely upon them to consider the 
welfare of the Nation in the negotiations of this day.
  All this day and through the week, may they recall Your words spoken 
through the prophets, to be mindful of the most vulnerable among us, 
and so to do their best to find solutions to pressing issues facing our 
Nation.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
