Journal of the House

First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

FIFTY-NINTH DAY, Thursday, April 24, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Father David Buescher.

          God, You who can bring constancy even out of chaos, speak words of steadiness and order into this noble hall this morning. The people of this great state count on these women and these men to labor through an overabundance of bills and issues today.

          Time seems short; the mountain of work is substantial and not insignificant. So we stake our claim first to Your caring and stimulating presence, and then we will do the best we can. We are all in Your heart; this day may the minds and the hands in this Chamber build and toil only for good. 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: Blake Werner, Ryan Kerans, Victoria Strang, Tyler Whelan, Rebecca Gee, Bobby Schindel, Peter Erickson, Joseph Winstein-Hibbs, Emily Mallette, Alex Trampe, Aspen Sinclair Gates, Melani Ford, Krystal Lewis, Travis Leeper, Jordan Walker, J.R.
