                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, offered the following 
prayer:
  God of the Ages, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
  We continue to ask You to be with us here in the people's House. 
Political energy is high, yet we ask that You bless the Members with a 
surfeit of wisdom and discernment as they continue toward the end of 
the first session.
  May the work to be completed result in blessings for our Nation in 
the funding of the government for the next year.
  Finally, please send a healing spirit upon this assembly, upon our 
Nation. Much harsh language and accusation have been heard in the 
Chamber; help us all to be ambassadors of peace and reconciliation, so 
that all Americans might have hope in a united future.
  May all that is done be for Your greater honor and glory.
  Amen.
