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:

Eternal God, our Father, give us Your light to lead us and Your love to transform us for so often we walk in ways of doubt, denial, and disillusionment. Take away from us all selfishness, all inflated pride, and all else that would hinder us from entering into an intimate partnership with You. Deliver us from fear that would weaken our faith, from error that would obscure and blind our vision, and from doubts that would dwarf and deplete our energies.

In Your mercy, Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.
