Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly
SEVENTH DAY, Monday, January 17, 2000
Speaker Pro Tem Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Almighty and Eternal God, Source of our wisdom and the strength to carry out our highest goals, be with this Assembly today. Give these Representatives the insight to move their deliberations on to successful conclusions. Bless these men and women with the courage to be true to their desire to serve the people of this sovereign state. And may their hearts and minds be filled with the ideas and motivations that called Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose memory we observe today, to give his very life for the good of this nation. May these men and women, in all they do today, be guided by the same tenets which guided his code of belief in the sacredness and inviolability of every human being. Sit and deliberate with this august body today, God, ever true, ever caring, now and forever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
