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 Father, we confess that our puny strength and fallible judgments are unequal to the tests and tasks of our times. Forbid, then, that we should rely only on our own devices and councils. Bowing our heads at this altar of prayer, cause us to be still and to know that You are our God. Through the tangled wilderness of human relationships, show us the clear path that leads to the summit of Your will. With eyes cleansed of selfish motives, may we see Your way and follow it without fail.

We pray to our God Who is always good and true. Amen.

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