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 and Father, Who reveals Yourself in wisdom, the true and the beautiful, take the dimness of our vision away. Give meaning to our words, sincerity to our purpose and courage to our efforts. May we make this day beautiful with loyalty and dedication to the finest. When problems seem insurmountable, when our fairest dreams seem to sink into the sands of futility, may we labor on, sure and certain, knowing that when we are colaborers with our God, even in hopes deferred, the joy of certain victory will inevitably come. To You, Lord, we give our praise and thanksgiving. Amen.
