                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. We pause 
in Your presence, and ask guidance for the men and women of the 
people's House.
  Enable them, O God, to act on what they believe to be right and just, 
and to do so in ways that show respect for those with whom they 
disagree. In this, may they grow to be models and good examples in a 
time when so many in our world are unable to engage gracefully with 
those with whom they are at odds.
  As we approach this next recess, and the celebration of the birth of 
our Nation, bless our great Nation, and keep it faithful to its ideals, 
its hopes, and its promise of freedom in our world.
  Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done within the 
people's House be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
