Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

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:

We thank You, Heavenly Father, for the far-sighted efforts of our forefathers, which gave us the blessings that we enjoy today. Forbid that we should become so busy enjoying the fruit as to forget the tree from which it came. Help us then to appreciate always the past and to be inspired by it as to live and labor today for a better tomorrow. May we never betray the past by exploiting the present. Teach us that our accomplishments can be dwarfed because of the limits of our aspirations. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Amen.

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