Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

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:

With gratitude and praise, we come, Heavenly Father, to show our dependence upon Your goodness and Your concern for us. All that we are we owe to You and all that we have is a gift from Your hand. Make us worthy of Your blessings. Through our sharing, may new hope come to the hopeless, new faith to the discouraged, new light to those who sit in darkness, and new life to those who are heavy laden. Lift us up to new heights of vision. When we walk thought discouraging hours, grant us the light of Your presence. When we would give way to doubt, give us a deeper faith in You. When we tend to become cynical, help us to look up to you and then with courage face the days ahead.

Thank you, Lord, for this privilege of prayer. Amen.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

At 10:10 A.M. the House in accordance with S. 803 (Sine Die Adjournment Resolution) adjourned to meet at 10:00 A.M. tomorrow.
