                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We continue to ask Your blessing on all those who are discerning 
significant options about leadership here in the people's House.
  You endow all Your people with gifts of various designs, meant to be 
used in service to others. May the pressures that come to bear not 
obscure honest self-reflection and evaluation of the gifts that each 
has to bring to the needs of this time in the people's House.
  Bless all Members with a sense of their collective responsibility to 
our Nation and to this assembly so that the American people might look 
forward to the coming months with hope and a renewed respect and trust 
in those whom they have elected.
  May all that is done today and in the days to come be for Your 
greater honor and glory.
