                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, merciful God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  During the deliberations of this day, send Your spirit of wisdom and 
good judgment upon the Members of the people's House, that the 
appropriation provisions they must address would redound to the benefit 
of all Americans.
  Bless those throughout our Nation who are suffering from disease and 
natural disaster, and protect those who labor to assist them. Lord, 
have mercy.
  May all that is done today be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
