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:

Eternal God, to Whom we turn with praise and gratitude, give us a clearer understanding of Your will and a keener appreciation of Your mission for our lives. Deliver us from discouragement. Enable us to see issues clearly, and help us to choose the right course. Take from us all fear except that of failing to do Your will. Teach us that our liberty is not the right to do as we please, but the opportunity to do what is right. May our conduct be of such a nature that we can invoke Your blessings upon its consequences.

Grant us Your peace, both now and always. Amen.
