                        LESS OF US, MORE OF GOD

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Mr. Speaker, this week in Washington was one where many 
came together in order to express their faith and fellowship and, also, 
to pray.
  It culminated in the National Prayer Breakfast, where the President 
and our House Speaker both were there with many Congressional Members 
and leaders and international leaders, all there with the theme of 
``Less of us, more of God'' expressed several times, spoken by our 
President as well.
  Also, he spoke of unity, as many did in that gathering, unity that I 
think is best expressed by this verse from the Bible, 2 Chronicles 
7:14:
  ``If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and 
pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear 
from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.''
  Indeed, less of us, more of God.
