House Journal

First Regular Session, 90th General Assembly

SECOND DAY, Thursday, January 7, 1999

Speaker Gaw in the Chair.

Prayer by Father Hugh Behan.

"Lead a life worthy of your calling...eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." (Eph. 4:1-3)

One point made yesterday by Secretary of State Cook struck me. There are 25 new members in the House and altogether then there have been just 6,459 in the state's history.

Gracious God, you know this puts our responsibilities into some perspective. It is even more of a privilege when we see how few have been elected to serve. Make us worthy, merciful God, to uphold the external decorum of the House as we were challenged yesterday, but also to work for whatever change is needed to serve the citizens, ending racial and ethnic rivalry. Bless our efforts to allow more of our young citizens to be saved from a negative life by educating them to their fullest potential from their earliest years. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

The Journal of the first day was approved as corrected by the following vote:
