FIFTH DAY, Wednesday, January 12, 2000

Speaker Pro Tem Kreider in the Chair.

Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.

Gracious God, help us to understand that the pace of our lives is often so hectic that we miss the impact of conscience and values. Protect these men and women of the House, so they do not loose a sense of what is right, what is true, what is best for all.

Keep us sensitive to Your eternal truth, and confident that what is the right and the fitting will be clear to those who seek the right and the fitting.

Point the way, we pray; and to You be glory and honor. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Dr. John H. Robinson and Marilyn L. Robinson.
