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, Whose blessings are without number and Whose presence is for all, be plentiously near that we may stand in the full stature of which we are intended. Grant us the wisdom to use unimpaired all the powers with which You have endowed us. Deliver us from foolish discontent, from envy which fails to count life's blessings and from jealousy which sears the soul and scars the personality. Save us from regrets about things that cannot be altered; give us the ability to accept the inevitable. Grant to us such a measure of Your wisdom that our lives may bring joy to others and contentment to ourselves.

In the Name of Jesus, the Christ, we pray. Amen.
