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 Lord God, as we come into Your presence we are haunted by duties unfinished, promptings disobeyed, beckoning ignored. We cry out for Your help for the problems that beset us: the problem of selfishness which we call self-interest; the problem of greed often called profit; the problem of license disguising itself as liberty; the problem of materialism the hook baited with security. Help us to see our problems in the right perspective, and by Your help to conquer them.
Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
