The House assembled at 2:00 P.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 Help and our Hope, teach us to know that in Your nearness there is wisdom that saves us from folly; in our darkness there is light to lead us on; in our weakness there is strength to make us strong; that even in despair and disappointment, we find courage and confidence. Continue, then, to be near to shatter our delusions, to shine through our blindness, to shame our pride. Give us open ears, quick to hear every whisper of Your will as we move into this weeks business in the knowledge that "You are nearer to us than breathing and closer to us than hands and feet".

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
