Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly
SECOND DAY, Thursday, January 6, 2000
Speaker Pro Tem Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.
Lord of all, we pray for this land and for our state.
We need Your help. In Your providence this nation was founded.
Men and women of faith have passed on to us the great heritage of belief.
Bless all in this House as they work to strengthen the heritage of righteousness and justice that binds us together.
We pray for those whose needs are great. And now remember Representative Estel Robirds as he recovers from surgery, and for Representative Mary Kasten's husband, Mel, as he recovers.
And to You be glory and power. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
