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:

Eternal Father, we lift our thoughts to You, the Source of all our being and the Goal of our noblest endeavors. We pray for strength to carry our burdens, wisdom to see through our problems we face, insight to discover what is right, and courage to walk in right paths. Keep us worthy of the sacrifices which established this great Nation. Save us from wasting time on things that do not matter. Make us giants in sterling character, strong in integrity, and steadfast in our trust in God. Make us committed to Him Whose light never fades, Whose goodness never falters, and Whose love for us never fails. In the Name of the Lord Jesus we pray. Amen.
