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, we stand before You in the quietness of these moments of prayer in the full knowledge that You are with us and feeling a deep need of Your help. You have made us for Yourself, and our souls are restless until they find rest in You. Let not self interest blind us to the highest good, or self concern blot from our eyes the vision of Your will, or self-seeking blur our concept of justice. Give us the courage to stand up for the hard right lest we fall for the easy wrong. In all of our worthwhile efforts, enable us to hear clearly Your Word: "I will strengthen you; yea, I will help you" (Isaiah 41:10). Amen.
