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:

Our Father God, Whose blessings are for all, we pause in these moments of prayer to ask for guidance and wisdom as we live and labor through the coming hours. Be in our minds that only worthy thoughts may enter. Be on our lips that only words of truth may be spoken. Be alive in our hearts that only charity and understanding may abide within us. Direct us, in all our doings, with Your most gracious favor and move us forward with Your continual help. Strengthen us that the stress and strain of our times may not slow us down or dim our hope for a better day. Support us all the day long that at eventide we may have peace within, peace with others, and peace with our God.

In the spirit of Jesus we pray. Amen.
