                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, through whom we see what we could be and what we can 
become, thank You for giving us another day.
  In these days our Nation is faced with pressing issues, while we 
honor the memory of many who acted courageously a half century ago to 
bring greater freedoms to all Americans. Grant wisdom, knowledge, and 
understanding to us all, as well as an extra measure of charity.
  Send Your spirit upon the Members of this people's House, who labor 
within these Halls under public scrutiny. Give them peace and an 
abundance of prudence in the work they do.
  And may all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
