                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of our ancestors, thank You for giving us another day.
  We pray You, O God, to be with the Members of this House today and as 
they depart for the August recess. Give them sound judgment and make 
them as practical as the American people who sent them here as their 
representatives.
  Help them to withstand open criticism when they know what is right 
before You and conscience. Often they are characterized by half-truths 
and attributed motives that are far beneath them. Uphold them at such 
times with personal integrity and compassion for those most in need.
  Having called them to serve others to the best of their abilities, 
lift them even higher by Your grace and power to live and work for Your 
greater honor and glory, both this day and throughout the remainder of 
the summer.
  Amen.
