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 Lord our God, we thank You for this good Country and for Your providential care of it from generation to generation. We are grateful for our freedoms. We thank You for things that endure all change: beauty, goodness, truth. Sharpen our minds, quicken our energies in tasks great and small that we may help shape the future in the pattern of Your will. Make wise our thoughts, and guide our actions. And may we find our supreme joy in work well done, our chief reward in the doing of Your will.

Hear, we pray, the spoken and the unuttered prayers that we offer and answer them according to Your plans and purposes. Amen.
