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 these moments of prayer when we can look up to You and away from the world and thereby get our bearings. We know not what this day will bring, but of one thing we are confidently sure: that You will be with us. If we must travel stony paths, give us strong shoes. Teach us the lesson that the good we do today becomes tomorrow's happiness; so enable us to conduct ourselves that we can think of every yesterday without regret and to every tomorrow without fear.

We pray to a God Whose Name is above all others. Amen.
