                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We thank You once again that we, Your creatures, can come before You 
and ask guidance for the men and women of the people's House.
  Send Your spirit of wisdom as they face this day with difficult 
decisions to be made, determining among competing interests to 
appropriate funds for the programs required to serve the needs of our 
Nation. Might they work together with charity, and join their efforts 
to accomplish what our Nation needs to live into a prosperous and 
secure future.
  Please keep all the Members of this Congress, and all who work for 
the people's House, in good health, that they might faithfully fulfill 
the great responsibility given them by the people of this great Nation.
  Bless us this day and every day. May all that is done here this day 
be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
