Indicates New Matter

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, as we pause in these moments of prayer, we seek deliverance from the clash and clamor around us, from the tumult of a busy world, and from the confusion of many sounds, to thank You for Your blessings and to invoke Your continued goodnesses. Grant to us clarity of thought and soundness of judgment. When we do not know what to do, give us the faith to call upon You. Turn us from discord, division and strife. Keep us from self-righteousness, from arrogance, discord and envy. Be for us at all times "our Refuge and our Strength".

In the Name of Jesus we offer our prayer. Amen.
