The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
Keep us diligent, good Lord, in the work that You would have us to do, knowing that it is easier to keep a fire burning than to rekindle it when once gone out, and to remember that today is seldom too early to start what needs to be done and tomorrow may be too late. Help us to recall the past with gratitude and to welcome the future with its challenges to accomplish worthwhile objectives. Make us aware of Your presence not only in the heights of ecstasy, but also in the ordinary events of life.
Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
