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:

Almighty God, from Whom comes wisdom and strength, grant these gifts to us as we face the waiting tasks of this day. May moral virtues and spiritual values reign supreme in our lives. Give to us an abundant measure of courage, faith and vision. Save us from littleness at a time that demands greatness, from pettiness at a time when high principles are needed, from narrow views in a period that cries out for wide concern. Help us to be true to the best. To this we commit ourselves this day. Amen.
