                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Loving God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  Guide the Members of this people's House with the spirit of 
understanding which might lead them to their best judgment. We live in 
a world of human failure and broken promises; may they be tolerant of 
the faults of others because they are aware of their own shortcomings.
  Bless all with a quiet respect for the diversity of opinions to be 
found here. Through honest dialogue and contemplative listening, may 
Your servants search all of the avenues open to them to meet today's 
challenges with integrity and justice.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
