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, we thank You for every day You give us. We are grateful for gloomy days, for days of striving contests, for days of pressure that drive us to action, for days of reflection when life comes in clearer focus, for days of rest and quietness, for days of worship when the curtains of time are pulled back and we feel more keenly the sense of Your presence. For each and every one of these kinds of occasions, give us strength and wisdom for all the days and for every experience.

Thanks be to You for this day, and may we use it to live for Your glory and for the good of our fellowbeings. Amen.
