                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Vincent DeRosa, St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, 
D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Gracious God from whom all truth, rights, and authority descend, 
grant this House wisdom to perceive the common good, strong resolve to 
carry it out in the service of our citizens, prudence to do so justly, 
and love to do so with compassion and empathy for those most in need. 
We ask this in Your most holy name.
  Amen.
