Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

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:

Almighty God, under Whose all seeing eye we live and work, whether our tasks are in the glare of public notice or in the shadows of hidden places, we lift our united prayer that we should serve well, speak wisely, think rightly, choose correctly. For our failures, forgive us. For success make us humbly thankful. When the seamless robe of humanity is rent by strife and discord, help us to be ministers of reconciliation.

Keep us, we pray, in step with the drumbeat of Your truth which is marching on. Amen.
