                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Greg Young, Brown Deer United Church of Christ, Brown Deer, 
Wisconsin, offered the following prayer:
  O God, author of all that is good, true, and beautiful, we gather 
together today to give You thanks. Thanks for the privilege of living 
in this great Nation, and for the privilege of serving its people.
  As we journey into this new gift of today, I ask that You bless these 
who represent our great Nation and all who support them. Grant them 
inspired thought and action that transcends ideology. Inspire those 
here today with courageous and creative deliberation and nobility of 
purpose. Grant, O God, that these walls resound with the clarion call 
of freedom and justice for all which stand as the bedrock of our 
Nation.
  We humbly ask, God of tender loving mercy, that You guide the 
collective wisdom and discourse of these Representatives.
  May God bless this House and all who serve. God bless the President. 
May God bless the United States of America.
  Amen.
