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 gracious Lord, Whose will it is that we "do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God", grant us the fortitude to do what we ought to do, the persuasion not to do what ought to be left undone, the wisdom to see Your way clearly and the courage to walk in that way unfalteringly. Make us equal to our tasks, just in our exercise of power, generous in our ministry to those in need, charitable and understanding in our dealings with all people. Inspired by Your Word, may we think clearly, choose wisely, and act nobly for the good of all Your children.

We pray in the Name of Jesus Whose teachings would lead us on. Amen.
