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 Who has brought us to this new day, grant us the blessing of Your continued presence. Deepen our understanding, expand our concern for others, enlarge our capacity for good will. Strengthen us when we fail; support us when we fall; sustain us when we falter. Give us ability and courage sufficient for the challenges before us. May we conduct ourselves as worthy of Your children. Give us a faith that triumphs over fears, a determination that surmounts discouragement. Grant to us strength in all temptations. And as flowers open to the sun, as children turn to parents in time of need, so may we constantly look to You for help.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus we pray. Amen.
