The House assembled at 3:00 P.M.

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

O God our Light and Salvation, when so many things are screaming for our attention and crying out for our support, enable us to judge between that which is good and that which is not. Make of us builders of bridges, not of barriers. Keep us aware that it is more important to know where we are going than where we have been; that the most important thing is to stand blameless before our God rather than to seek the applause of our fellowbeings. Remind us constantly of what is essential, and keep us faithful to the same.

Hear us in this our prayer made in praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
