The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, hear the words of the 104th Psalm (vv.25-29):

"O Lord, how manifold are Your works!

In wisdom you have made all Your

creatures of the earth.

All of them look to You to give them

their food in due season.

You give it to them; they gather it;

You open Your hand, and they are

filled with good things!"
Let us pray.

Dear Lord, make our hearts and wills channels for Your Spirit to create new ways for our world.

Support us in the long, lingering, laborious hours.

Make us equal to the stress of our times.

Keep us sensitive to human need and the burdens that each of us bears.

Guide our military and our government leaders lest we sink in the bog of the swamps of Bosnia.

And here at home, show us Your mercy this day!

Amen.

On motion of Senator WILLIAMS, with unanimous consent, the Senate agreed to go into Executive Session.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
