                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God our Father, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Bless the Members of this people's House as they gather at the end of 
another week in the Capitol. Endow each with the graces needed to 
attend to the issues of the day with wisdom, that the results of their 
efforts might benefit the citizens of our Nation and the world.
  We also ask Your blessing leading into this weekend upon fathers 
throughout our country. May they be their best selves and may their 
children appreciate fully the blessing they have been to them.
  May all that is done this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
