Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer as follows:

Before we enter into the duties of this day, we pause, Lord, to pray in recognition of Your greatness and to ask Your blessings. Give to each one who labors here a clear mind, a sound judgment and a steadfast dedication. We ask not that our work load be made lighter, but for strength enough to carry these loads. In our perplexities, counsel us; in our sorry, comfort us; in our weakness, strengthen us. Set us free from errors and faults that blind us, from fears and doubts that assail us that we may have clear vision of those ideals which call and challenge us to a life of honor and service. And as we conclude our prayer, we ask that You make us worthy of the past and equal to the present. Amen.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
