                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of all creation, thank You for giving us another day. At the end 
of a very busy week, we ask Your blessing upon the Members of this 
people's House. As they face a rare short weekend, may they be 
refreshed so as to return for a busy week to address the salient issues 
of these days.
  We ask Your blessing today for the people in and around Houston, who 
again find themselves dealing with serious damages due to flooding. May 
they and those many first responders be safe as they begin the recovery 
of their community.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
