The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Almighty God, the Giver of all good blessings, grant us wisdom to perceive You, intellect to understand You, and a life to proclaim You. And if in the stress of daily duty we forget You, do not forget us. Help us to be cheerful when things go wrong, persevering when things are difficult, serene when things are irritating. Enable us to be helpful to those in distress, understanding of those in need, sympathetic to those whose hearts are sad.

This we pray in the Name of our Lord Christ. Amen.
