live and what it is we ought to do. humble us in our air against, and disavow us of our self-efficiency. in your mercy, uphold us in your righteousness we would boast only in you. in your sovereign name we pray, amen. the speaker: amen. the chair has has examined the journal of the last day's proceedings and the journal stands approved. the pledge will be led by the gentleman from south carolina, mr. wilson. mr. wilson: everyone, including guests in the gallery, flies join in. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches on each side of the aisle. for what purpose does the
