The House assembled at 11:00 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
O God the maker of the world and all that in it is, we praise You for the awakening beauty of Springtime. With clear vision and grateful hearts, may we behold Your presence and power in the world of nature. Forbid that we should walk in this garden of loveliness with eyes that do not see or with hearts that do not sing. Enable us to see the miracle of Your handiwork in the tiniest bloom, in every blade of green grass, and in the budding branches against the arching sky. And may the wonder of it rebuke our cold skepticism, the joy of it restore our sagging hope, and the loveliness of it enrich our understanding of Your promises which are as sure as the stars above.
Amen.
Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by Rep. J.C. JOHNSON.

H. 3550--THE GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL
"I want to ask your cooperation in the preparation of your amendments. I know the amendments are highly technical on the Appropriation Bill sometimes, but several amendments have been called to my attention that really do not completely accomplish what they set out to do. I would cite two such instances to you and tell you how I have disposed of them, in order that you might take any action if you don't wish this disposition. Where an amendment amends one line without amending the others, where lines 7 and 8 should be amended jointly, and the amendment of line 8 is merely a computation factor dependent upon the amendment of line 7, I am construing the amendment mandate 'Amend Bill and totals to conform' to permit the insertion of the technically correct figure in the additional line where it does not appear. Additionally, it has been called to my attention that, at least in one instance, an amendment was adopted that would have added certain positions or deleted certain positions, and the numbers, the dollar figures, were amended, but the FTE conformity, which would be a mathematical computation, was not included in the amendment. Again, I am construing that to be a technical amendment that we will make in Legislative Council. I would ask your cooperation in getting your amendments correct in the first place, and if anyone has an amendment that falls into either of the categories I have mentioned, I would suggest that if you disagree with the action I am taking, that a motion to amend the amendment would be appropriate, but I'm trying to save that time, if possible."
