                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless abundantly the Members of this people's House. During this 
season of new growth, may Your redemptive power help them to see new 
ways to productive service, fresh approaches to understanding each 
other, especially those across the aisle, and renewed commitment to 
solving the problems facing our Nation.
  May they, and may we all, be transformed by Your grace and better 
reflect the sense of wonder, even joy, at the opportunities to serve 
that are ever before us.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
