                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Gracious God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. In this 
Chamber where the people's House gathers, we pause to offer You 
gratitude for the gift of this good land on which we live and for this 
great Nation which You have inspired in developing over so many years. 
Continue to inspire the American people that, through the difficulties 
of these days, we might keep liberty and justice alive in our Nation 
and in the world.
  A week after many Members of this assembly traveled to Selma to 
remember historic and heroic actions 50 years ago, may the House be 
energized to guarantee the very rights so many suffered to obtain back 
then and which

still elude so many of their American descendants today.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
