                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We strive to be one Nation, indivisible, constant in vigilance, and 
seeking liberty and justice for all. Because we are too weak to find 
total accomplishment in these things, we place our trust in You. Help 
us to be a virtuous people, responsible for upholding the sound 
principles that brought our country into being.
  May law and order not only be words echoing in the halls of 
government and the courts of this land but words describing how all 
Americans live out their citizenship and ownership of the commonwealth 
of our great Nation.
  Bless the Members of this people's House, who have been entrusted by 
their constituents to usher an ever greater future into existence in 
our land. May they model for all Americans class, openness, and honesty 
in the work they do.
  May everything done here this day be for Your greater honor and 
glory.
  Amen.
