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, our Father, "always nearer to us than breathing and closer to us than hands and feet", we come into Your presence thankful for Your past blessings and to ask Your continued blessings. Help us to do our duties well, to carry with credit our responsibilities, and to make our decisions with sincerity of mind and genuineness of heart. Fill our thoughts with understanding that our service to You and to others would know no boundaries. Thus may we prove ourselves faithful to the trust imposed in us as we pray with the Psalmist: "Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on Thee". Amen.
