                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We ask Your special blessing upon the Members of this people's House. 
They face difficult decisions in difficult times, with many forces and 
interests demanding their attention.
  In these days give wisdom to all the Members, that they might execute 
their responsibilities to the benefit of all Americans. And may their 
constituents understand, as well, that many in this country have 
interests at odds with their own, and that the task entrusted to their 
representatives is extremely complex.
  Bless us, O God, and be with us all this day and every day to come. 
May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
