                                 PRAYER

  Chaplain Major Thomas E. Fussell, U.S. Air Force, Cape Canaveral, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Good morning, Lord.
  In a few days, our hearts will turn toward our Armed Forces as we 
observe Memorial Day. Many of America's sons and daughters have fought 
and died valiantly for the freedoms we now enjoy. We are grateful for 
the ultimate sacrifice they have made for us. May Your peace rest on 
their loved ones who continue to grieve.
  Lord, as the many debates of great importance echo through this 
historic Chamber, I pray that You would give to these leaders a 
softness of heart and speech, that they may work to solve the problems 
at hand, together. Grant our congressional leaders wisdom and new ideas 
to solve the complex problems before them.
  Bless the House of Representatives, O Lord. Imbue its leaders with 
Your righteousness. Remind them that to whom much is given, much is 
required.
  Lord our creator, lover of our souls, hear my prayer.
  Amen.
