Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 95th General Assembly




FOURTH DAY, Tuesday, January 13, 2009

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Richard in the Chair.


            Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.


              Blessed are You, Lord our God, Creator of all that is! We thank You for the resources of the world. They are Your creation. It is Your will that all the people share in these resources according to their needs.


              We accept the responsibility to help this come about for the people of the State of Missouri. By Your inspiration may we keep our focus on the well being of the people. "The well being of the people is the supreme law."


              Many of our people are suffering in the recession. Some have lost their jobs. Some have seen their income decline. We pray for them, especially for those who suffer physically in the cold of winter.


              May these harsh realities hold our attention so that we might work together to lay the groundwork for a better future for the people.


              Strengthen us with Your grace and wisdom for You are God forever and ever. 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: Lauren Riley Smith, Zoe Anastosopolos, Dayne Hansen and Hunter Hansen.


            The Journal of the third day was approved as printed by the following vote:
