                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As we approach a week away from the Nation's Capitol, we give You 
thanks for the many blessings we enjoy.
  May Americans rightfully celebrate the greatness of our participative 
form of government and the ongoing pursuit of ever broader freedoms for 
all people that marks our history.
  Bless the Members of this people's House in the coming week and their 
constituents with whom they meet. And as they complete the work of this 
week and this day, give them the wisdom they need to be their best 
selves in seeing to the issues of our day.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
