                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We come to You as a Nation in the midst of significant imminent 
transition, even as important disagreements on policy promise vigorous 
debate in the days and weeks to come. As people look for causes and 
solutions, the temptation is great to seek ideological position.
  We ask that You might send Your spirit of peace and reconciliation; 
that instead of ascendancy over opponents, the Members of this people's 
House and all elected to represent our Nation might work together 
humbly, recognizing the best in each other's hopes, to bring stability 
and direction toward a strong future.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
