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:


Lord, there are times when we fail to make Your way a reality in our lives. Forgive us for not believing that You can do all that You say. "Lord, increase our faith," and help us to put our faith into action.

And as we near the end of a work week here, help us to be encouraged by Your support to our effort. Take our words and deeds as humble offerings that seek daily to show Your Lordship. Keep our ears attuned to Your voice, give to us an ever increasing desire to rely upon You in challenges and opportunities which are continually before us. Enable us to hear clearly the words of the Psalmist: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." (Psalm 111:10a) Amen.
