                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  As the Members of this people's House return from a lengthy time in 
their home districts, in the wake of a great American holiday, we ask 
Your special blessing upon American workers, those fortunate to have 
jobs during these difficult economic times and those desiring work. May 
they know and be confident of the nobility and sacredness of their 
labor.
  Lord, the task facing the Nation's Congress is a difficult one which 
will call upon each Member to consider what is best for American 
workers first. It is the challenge facing all Americans.
  Give the Members wisdom in their work that our economy might continue 
to rebound and our countrymen and -women throughout these United States 
be able to provide for their families and to build lives we have all 
come to expect for our citizens.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
