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:

O God our Father, we know not what this day will bring, but of one thing we are confident: You are supreme, unchangeable and ever present with us. Give to us clean thoughts, pure hearts and honest motives. Amid the monotony and routine of daily duties, make each of us a good comrade, a reliable friend, a cheerful workman, and an understanding colleague who plays clean, hard and fair. When weariness and discouragement overtake us, help us to cast our burdens upon our all-powerful God Who cares for us. Keep our faces turned toward the light of Your presence and our feet from paths of failure.

In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
