                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Lord, You know there are many Americans who look to the people's 
House as uncertainty about the future of the economy and our Nation's 
debt hang in a balance. As well, leadership in this assembly is being 
considered and will be determined in this coming week.
  We ask that You bless the Members of the people's House with 
discernment in these most trying times.
  We ask again that You impel those who possess power here to be 
mindful of those whom they represent who possess little or no power and 
whose lives might become all the more difficult by a failure to work 
out serious differences.
  May all that is done today be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
