                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us 
another day. We thank You that You give us a share in Your creative 
work, having endowed each with unique and important talents.
  On this day we ask Your blessing on the men and women of the people's 
House who have been entrusted with the care of this great Nation's 
people. Because of the great blessings You have bestowed on our Nation, 
may we embrace the opportunity to build a better world beyond our 
borders as well.
  As another election approaches, Members are understandably focused on 
their campaigns. Give them the energy and courage to remain focused as 
well on the demands of office facing them now. This is difficult, but 
our Nation and our world have many issues calling for attention, and 
these few have the privilege of addressing them with some hope of 
bringing resolution that may be of benefit to us all.
  May all they do this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
