                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  We give You thanks, O God, for giving us another day.
  We ask Your blessing upon this people's House, as we are in the 
beginning days of this new Congress. Encompass with Your power all the 
walls of this building, truly a symbol to the world of inalienable 
rights and the freedom of people.
  Guide and protect Your elected servants in government and all who 
work in this place. May all who visit here be treated with respect and 
kindness.
  May the comings and goings of Your people be under the seal of Your 
loving care and all work accomplished here this day be for Your greater 
honor and glory.
  Amen.
