The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
We thank You, Heavenly Father, that You are a great God, yet not too big to be concerned about our smallest needs. With equal concern, make us to deal with those around, knowing that a real friend is one who walks in when others walk out, and that it doesn't take a lot of muscle to give a friend a lift. So may we be enriched by the echoes we hear from our kind words spoken. Make us unmistakably aware that God will forgive those who start late in life to serve Him, but He will not forgive those who quit early.
Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
