The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Lord God, we thank You for the blessings of this great land; for the fruits of the soil, for water and all the untold resources of the earth; for the majesty of the mountains and the serenity of the sand covered beaches; for the lavender of the lilac and the fragrance of the rose; for the mighty oak tree dripping with the moss and the shy little violet; for the grandeur of the arching sky with pansies, camellias and azaleas beneath to make bright our paths. And as we thank You for these and all Your blessings, make us to see ourselves as stewards of these blessings - not only for now, but for the generations to follow.

Keep us ready for the discipline and self-control for the age in which we serve as we "show forth Your loving kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night." (Psalm 92:2) Amen.
