                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the universe, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of this assembly as they set upon the work of these 
hours, of these days. Help them to make wise decisions in a good manner 
and to carry their responsibilities steadily with high hopes for a 
better future for our great Nation.
  Deepen their faith, widen their sympathies, heighten their 
aspirations, and give them the strength to do what ought to be done for 
this country.
  During this time of transition in the Speaker's office, may all 
Members renew their hope of a productive dynamic within the House and, 
with Your grace, be willing to reset relationships both within and 
between party conferences.
  May Your blessing, O God, be with them and with us all this day and 
every day to come, and may all we do be done for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
