                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  We give You thanks, O God, for giving us another day.
  We ask Your blessing upon this assembly and upon all to whom the 
authority of government is given.
  The issues of these days and in coming months remain complicated and 
potentially divisive. Endow each Member with wisdom and equanimity, 
that productive policies and solutions might be reached for the benefit 
of our Nation.
  Please send Your spirit of peace upon those areas of our world where 
violence and conflict endure, and threaten to multiply. May all Your 
children learn to live in peace.
  And, may all that is done within the people's House this day be for 
Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
