                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Almighty God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of this people's House. Help them to walk in the 
light, to share their strengths, and to build upon their common desire 
for the good of our Nation that they might better attend to the 
important issues of our day.
  May they think clearly, speak confidently, and act courageously to 
make our Nation better today than it was yesterday. If it be Your will, 
we ask that men and women of good will from both sides of the political 
aisle might cooperate in the forming of law and policy.
  May we be forever grateful for the blessings our Nation enjoys and 
appropriately generous with what we have to help those among us who are 
in need.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
