                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Dear Lord of mercy, we give You thanks for giving us another day. 
Hear our prayers and those of people around the world that there might 
be an end to hunger.
  We use this moment to be reminded of Your presence and to tap the 
resources needed by the Members of this people's House to do their work 
as well as it can be done.
  As the Nation digests the results of a most significant voting day, 
may the Members remain focused on the tasks at hand.
  All this day and through the week, may they do their best to find 
solutions to pressing issues facing our Nation. Please hasten the day 
when justice and love shall dwell in the hearts of all peoples and rule 
the affairs of the nations of Earth.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
