                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We use this moment to be reminded of Your presence, and to tap the 
resources needed by the men and women of this assembly to do their work 
as well as it can be done. May they be led by Your spirit in the 
decisions they make. May they possess Your power as they steady 
themselves amid the pressures of persistent problems.
  The issues facing our Nation this week are monumental to us, but a 
part of the long history of political and policy debate that have 
created a great narrative of participative democracy. Send Your spirit 
of wisdom upon the people's House, that the Members might work as one 
to move our Nation forward to a brighter future.
  And may all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
