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 Heavenly Father, from Whom all noble ambitions and all good counsels proceed, we seek You through all the mystery and perplexity of life in the full knowledge that without You we cannot live confidently or well. We confess our inadequacy to respond fully to the many and varied calls of human needs. Crown, then, with Your blessings the deliberations of those who stand here in places of unique opportunities and influence. Keep alive within us a sense of Your eternal truths which save us from spiritual decay, from moral cowardice, and from any betrayal of the highest good.

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