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

Almighty and merciful God, Whose presence is with us in the morning and in the evening, we thank You for the constancy of your nearness--not to condemn us, but to help us along the way. Keep us aware of Your ever available wisdom and Your never failing strength. When the road is rough and the going tough, give us the courage and confidence to know that You're a very present help. Keep us faithful to You and You are faithful to us. Amen.
