The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.

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

Our Father Who is in Heaven, yet nearer than the hands and feet that serve us and closer than the works that challenge us, we confess that our puny strength and our fallible judgments are unequal to the tests and tasks of our times. So cause us to draw guidance from the deep wells of Your wisdom. We pray for eyes to see, minds to understand, and for hearts to claim their kinship with the Lord of the universe. Forbid that any of us should stain the brightness of this day or dim its possibilities by any deed or decision unworthy of the best.

May Your devine benediction be and abide with us now and always. Amen.
