                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We know that in our prayers we can speak to You, O God, with any 
words we wish and with any thoughts we care to think. Give us boldness 
and honesty in our prayers so that we truly speak what is in our 
hearts. And give us wisdom in our minds so that in all things we may do 
justice, love mercy, and ever walk humbly with You. This is our earnest 
prayer. Amen.
