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 and all-seeing God, under Whose eye we live and work where our tasks are done in the spotlight of public notice or in the shadow of hidden places, may we look upward to behold Your majesty and glory, look inward to see our shortcomings, look around to see our need of Your help. Keep us sensitive to human suffering and responsive to human need. Keep our goals worthy, our thoughts pure, our efforts upright. Give us the ability to match great needs with great deeds. And as the hours of this day unfold, may we enter into each succeeding task with a resolute faith and a steadfast hope to do all the good we can, in all the ways we can, and for all the people we can.

To our ever-present God we pray. Amen.
