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:

O God our Heavenly Father, Whose power is without limit and Whose love is eternal, lead and direct us for the well being of our Country and seek to secure peace in our world. May Your wisdom move the minds of our leaders in the crises that we face. Help them to speak calmly, think clearly and act courageously. In these days when people are divided, nations differ, and the world is in danger, grant unto us the wisdom, the ability and the concern as we endeavor to "do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God".

Give us the assurance of Your Word which says: "The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him" (Ezra 8:22). Amen.
