                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of the people's House as they depart the Nation's 
Capital to return to their homes. May they find rest and renewal during 
their time with family and friends.
  Bless our Nation as the holy days of the religious traditions for so 
many of our citizens approach, and as the year comes to a close. Help 
us to look to the future with hope, committed to a renewed effort to 
work together as citizens of a united America.
  Help us all to be truly grateful for the blessings of this past year.
  And, as always, we pray that whatever is done this day be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
