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 Father, as we begin the duties of this day, laden with responsibilities, we would pray in the words of the Psalmist: "Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You do I wait all the day" (Psalm 25:4,5). Take far from us all that obstructs the doing of Your will. Direct our energies, clarify our thinking, sustain our right decisions. Make us less concerned about being served and more concerned about serving. Thank you, Lord, for this privilege of prayer. Amen.
