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 God and Father, we acknowledge that we are anxious about what we ought to do and are tempted to feel that we are not strong enough to master the problems we face, the difficulties that frighten us, and the future that concerns us. Grant us a faith to carry us through, great enough to lift us above the weight of worry, great enough to make us adequate for our tasks, equal to our experiences and ready for our responsibilities. Help us to accept our limitations without bitterness, to enjoy our victories with humility, to overcome our weaknesses with faith, and to accept what cannot be changed with patience.

Thank You, Lord, for this privilege of prayer. Amen.
