                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day. Lead us 
this day in Your ways that our Nation might be guided along the roads 
of peace, justice, and goodwill.
  Grant strength and wisdom to our Speaker and the Members of both the 
people's House and the Senate, to our President and his cabinet, and to 
our Supreme Court.
  Bless as well the moral and military leaders of our country, and may 
those who are the captains of business, industry, and unions learn to 
work together toward the mutual benefit of all.
  During the contentious times of campaign season, help us all to be 
our best selves and worthy of the freedoms our constitutional form of 
government guarantees.
  May all that is done within the people's House be for Your greater 
honor and glory. Amen.
