  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Reverend Samuel Thomas, Jr., Capitol City Seventh Day Adventist 
Church, Sacramento, California, offered the following prayer:
  Eternal God our Father, we bless Your name this morning and thank You 
for the great country that You have given us, and we ask, Lord, that 
Your presence would be in this assembly and that You would empower us, 
Lord, by Your presence to do that which is right before Thee.
  We thank You, Lord, in how You have carved out our country to be 
prophetically significant for all times, and we ask, Lord, that as we 
consider the things of earth, we would not forget the things of heaven.
  This we ask in the blessed name of our Lord Christ. Amen.
