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

We thank You, Heavenly Father, for these moments of prayer ere we take up the duties of this day. Focus our thoughts on You, Lord, open our hearts to Your way that we may have the wisdom in our decisions, understanding in our thinking, charity in our attitudes and mercy in our judgments. Forbid that we should ever think that when this daily prayer is ended that our dependence upon You is over, or forget that You are our ever present Companion for the rest of the day. From this interlude of prayer, may there flow forth light and direction that will remain with us until nightfall shall bring Your divine benediction: "Well done, good and faithful servant." So help us all the day long. Amen.
