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:

Almighty God, we bow in these moments of prayer acknowledging our dependence upon Your help. We are weak, but You are strong; we are limited, but You have plenty; we lack wisdom, but You are all-wise. Be, then, our support all the day long. Grant us the will to live constructively, not by cynicism; to assert our faith, not our doubts.

Cause us to hear in complete confidence the Proverb which says:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5, 6) Amen.

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