                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Though we are a week away, as the House now gathers, in the wake of a 
great American holiday, we ask Your special blessing on American 
workers, those fortunate to have jobs during these difficult economic 
times and those desiring work. May they know and be confident of the 
nobility and sacredness of their labor.
  Lord, the task facing the Nation's Congress is a difficult one, which 
will call upon each Member to consider what is best for American 
workers first. It is the challenge facing all Americans. Give the 
Members wisdom in their work, that our economy might begin to rebound, 
and our countrymen and -women throughout these United States be able to 
provide for their families to build lives we have all come to expect 
for our citizens.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
