                                 PRAYER

  Bishop Perry Thompson, Freedom Chapel International Christian Center, 
Washington, D.C., offered the following prayer:
  Emmanuel, the God of creation, presence, and power, we honor You, the 
true and only wise God, as Christ and Lord and decree and declare Your 
principles and patterns to be the common thread through these walls and 
this august assembly of Representatives.
  We declare this day that the Lord has made a day of excellence and 
cooperation and decree it to be like no other day. We remorse of all 
sin and shortcomings and acquiesce to the unction of the Shekinah glory 
of the Most High.
  With expediency, deliver us from our enemies, for we flee unto Thee 
to hide us. Teach us to do Thy will, for Thou art our God. Thy spirit 
is good. Lead us into the land of uprightness.
  We declare these blessings in the name of the Lord and Savior.
  Amen in Jesus' name.
