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 Lord our Cod, we thank You for these moments of prayer when we turn from the world around with its drive of daily duties, that we might be made sensitive to Thy presence overarching all our efforts and seeking to guide our every endeavor. Show us how to contend without being contentious, to persist without being petulant, to persevere without pettiness, and ever to conduct ourselves as true sons and daughters of Thy creation. In all our doings great or small, keep us conscious that Thy care and concern surround us and will not let us go or let us down.

In the Name of our Lord Jesus we pray.

Amen.
