Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:

Our thought for today is from Psalm 116:12: "What shall I return to the Lord?"
Let us pray. Faithful God, You have provided great and wonderful things to us. Inspire us to return to You the thanks, praise, and adoration for all Your benefits. Increase our trust in You to guide us in all our work. Grant us rest and relaxation during this weekend and refresh us for the work ahead. Bless our Nation, State, her leaders and all who attend them in their duties. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those hidden. Hear our prayer, O Lord. Amen.

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

At 10:10 a.m. the House, in accordance with the ruling of the SPEAKER, adjourned to meet at 12:00 noon, Tuesday, January 17.
