Prayer
The following prayer was offered by Representative Kelly:
Our Heavenly Father, today is a momentous occasion in the history of
our great state-because we are here to debate one of the most profound
issues ever to face this great body. In these words of prayer I will not dwell
on the merits of either side, because You, above all we mortals, are most
knowing.

If there is a time when this legislative body needs Your divine wisdom
and guiding hand, it is now. This is one of the greatest deliberative bodies
in this nation. Every Member here today has helped to make it so and to
preserve its history. We know You will continue to make it work through
these times.
America is watching us today and I know You are sitting with each of
us as we do Your Will. You know we love and appreciate Your Presence.
Your Will will be done. In Your Divine Name. Amen.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill
300, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and
entitled:
An act relating to the correctional system; creating s. 951.28, F.S.;
authorizing counties to seek reimbursement from county prisoners for
certain expenses; requiring the sheriff to provide the county with
certain information; requiring cooperation by the prisoner;
authorizing investigations; authorizing civil actions by the county;
providing venue; providing for use of reimbursements; limiting the
group of inmates who may be released into the provisional release
supervision program; requiring mandatory substitution of conditional
release supervision for provisional release supervision in certain
circumstances; amending s. 944.17, F.S.; expanding provisions relating
to documents required upon commitment or transfer into the state
correctional system; amending s. 944.485, F.S.; providing for disclosure
of income and assets; providing for exemptions from disclosure;
providing for court determination of ability to pay and indigency;
providing for withholding of incentive gain-time under s. 944.275 F.S.,
in certain circumstances providing for collection of moneys by the
Department of Corrections; amending s. 944.28, F.S.; authorizing
forfeiture of gain-time upon revocation of provisional release,
probation, or community control; amending s. 944.291, F.S.; providing
for the supervision of prisoners released by reason of provisional
credits; amending s. 947.005, F.S.; providing a definition of
"provisional release date"; amending s. 947.1405, F.S.; modifying
provisions relating to conditional release supervision; amending s.
948.06, F.S.; authorizing forfeiture of gain-time upon revocation of
probation or community control; expanding the role of the Crime
Prevention and Law Enforcement Study Commission; amending
chapter 83-131, Laws of Florida; deferring future review and repeal of

develop rules and procedures and employ personnel; amending s.
944.485, F.S.; providing for the disclosure of inmate's income and
assets; providing for exemptions from disclosure; providing for court
determination of ability to pay and indigency; providing for
withholding of incentive gain-time under s. 944.275, in certain
circumstances; providing for collection of moneys by the Department
of Corrections; providing effective dates.
While I concur fully with the substantive goals expressed in this
legislation, a series of defects in the title to the legislation create
impediments to actually implementing these laws. The Legislature during
its Special Session on June 19 and the 20th, 1989, recognized these defects
and corrected and repassed this legislation in the form of Senate Bill 12B
of that Special Session.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bills 356 and 1449, enacted by
the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968
Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to criminal penalties; amending s. 775.082, F.S.;
authorizing imposition of a sentence of life imprisonment without the
possibility of parole for a capital felony when the death penalty is not
imposed or is held unconstitutional; requiring that persons sentenced
to life imprisonment for noncapital felonies serve 25 years before
becoming parole eligible; amending s. 775.15, F.S., to conform;
amending s. 921.141, F.S.; authorizing imposition of a sentence of life
imprisonment without the possibility of parole for capital felonies and
requiring imposition of such sentence when, upon review, the
judgment of conviction is upheld but the death sentence is overturned;
providing effective dates.
This bill would establish a third penalty option of life without possibility
of parole for persons convicted of capital felonies, in addition to the
existing penalties of (1) life with a 25 year mandatory minimum before
becoming eligible for parole, and (2) a sentence of death imposed pursuant
to s. 921.141 F.S. This bill also provides that persons convicted of felonies
other than capital felonies and who receive life sentences, shall be eligible
for parole after serving 25 years.
I am extremely concerned about the effect this bill would have upon the
application of capital punishment in Florida. The bill fails to contain any
criteria for the sentencing authority to apply in deciding which of the three
sentencing options to impose. There are no guidelines for the capital jury
and sentencing judge to follow to distinguish between imposition of a
sentence of life without possibility of parole, and death; or between a
sentence of life without possibility of parole, and life with a 25 year
mandatory minimum. As a result, this bill fails to supply any guided
discretion in the sentencing scheme as required by Proffitt vs. Florida, 429
U.S. 242 (1976) and its progeny.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for House Bills 356 and 1449, Regular Session of the
Legislature, commencing on April 4, 1989, and do hereby veto the same.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bills 387 and 1255, enacted by
the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968
Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to public transit; amending s. 339.135, F.S.; providing
for allocation of public transit block grant funds; amending s. 339.175,
F.S.; revising language with respect to transportation planning
organizations; relating to membership on the M.P.O.; amending s.
341.031, F.S.; revising definitions for purposes of the Florida Public
Transit Act; amending s. 341.041, F.S.; requiring the Department of
Transportation to develop and administer state measures concerning
public transit systems and including productivity in such measures;
revising the measures for certain responsibilities of the department

relating to operation of transit systems; amending s. 341.051, F.S.;
requiring the department to develop and implement a capital
investment policy; creating s. 341.052, F.S.; establishing a public
transit block grant program; providing uses for which block grant
funds may be expended; providing limitations on use of funds;
providing for distribution of funds; providing for review of the
distribution of funds by the Coordinating Council on the
Transportation Disadvantaged and for recommendations to legislative
transportation committees; creating s. 341.071, F.S.; requiring eligible
public transit providers to establish productivity and performance
measures; requiring certain reports and publication with respect
thereto; amending s. 119.07, F.S.; correcting a reference; amending s.
212.69, F.S.; revising provisions relating to use of proceeds of the tax
on the sale of fuels for public transit and rail projects; correcting a
reference; providing an effective date.
The purpose of this bill is to create a public transit block grant program
and is a concept supported by the Florida Transportation Commission.
The concepts of this legislation have merit, but I am concerned because the
planning and implementation of an effective mass transit program in urban
areas is a key element to proper growth management. This legislation fails
to tie the development of such programs to the use of urban service areas
or a similar concept and does not contain consistency requirements with
Florida's Growth Management Act.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for House Bills 387 and 1255, Regular Session of the
Legislature, commencing on April 4, 1989, and do hereby veto the same.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bills 494 and 1084, enacted by
the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968
Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to life-prolonging procedures; amending s. 765.03, F.S.;
revising the definition of the term "life-prolonging procedure" as used
in ss. 765.01-765.15, F.S., the Life-Prolonging Procedure Act of
Florida, which act provides a procedure for permitting life-prolonging
procedures to be withheld or withdrawn from a patient in a terminal
condition under certain circumstances; amending s. 765.05, F.S.;
revising the suggested form of declaration; creating s. 765.075, F.S.;
requiring certain determinations and documentation to be made by
certain physicians before nutrition or hydration may be withheld or
withdrawn; creating s. 765.17, F.S.; providing for recognition of
declarations executed in other states; providing an effective date.
This legislation deals with the same subject and issues that have recently
appeared in an opinion of the Second District Court of Appeals-In re:
Guardianship of Estelle M. Browning, Incompetent, 14 F.L.W. 956 (April
21, 1989). It has also been the subject of a large volume of mail and
telephone communications to my office.
I, like each of the individuals who have contacted my office and the
Second District Court of Appeals, am concerned about the complexity of
the human condition in the circumstances covered by the legislation, and
the medical, ethical, social and technological advances which relate to this
subject. It is an issue which must be evaluated within a cluster of competing
interests. At the root of the decision making process, it is the opinion of the
Second District Court of Appeals that one finds the constitutional right of
privacy which is guaranteed by Florida's Constitution. The Court has
concluded that its decision in this matter expressly construes a provision
of the State Constitution, and that it involves issues of great public
importance. The decision and the question of a patient's right of self-
determination to forego sustenance provided artificially by a nasogastric
tube has been certified to the Supreme Court of Florida.

without the complete constitutional guidance from the State Supreme
Court on this most complex issue and upon the fundamental issue of each

Constitution in Article I, Section 23.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for House Bill 629, enacted by the
Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968
Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to unemployment compensation; amending s. 443.111,
F.S.; changing the maximum weekly benefit amount; providing
application; providing an effective date.
The legislation establishes an automatic formula for the maximum
weekly benefit amount of unemployment compensation. I am concerned
because the increase in benefits for unemployed compensation currently
undergoes a policy review by the Legislature which allows a wide variety
of factors to be considered before an increase or other change is made to
the benefits.
Legislative policy makers have demonstrated their ability to address this
issue as the need arises by changing the cap four times since 1980 in
response to changing needs and circumstances within Florida.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for House Bill 629, Regular Session of the Legislature,
commencing on April 4, 1989, and do hereby veto the same.

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill
823, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and
entitled:
An act relating to education; amending s. 228.041, F.S.; including
developmental research schools within the definition of public schools;
creating s. 228.053, F.S.; creating the "Sidney Martin Developmental
Research School Act"; establishing developmental research schools;
providing mission; providing admission criteria; providing for fees;
providing for supplemental support organizations; providing for
personnel; creating an advisory board; providing duties; providing for
funding; creating a Developmental Research School Educational
Facility Trust Fund and a Developmental Research School Trust
Fund, and providing purposes thereof; providing a formula for capital
outlay and operating funding; authorizing additional funds for
upgrading, renovating, and remodeling science laboratories; providing
for developmental research schools to be designated as teacher

education centers for inservice training; providing for the use of funds
from the Developmental Research School Trust Fund for inservice
activities; providing for implementation; providing for audits; creating
s. 230.015, F.S.; designating developmental research schools as special
school districts; providing accountability to the Department of

Education; amending s. 236.0817, F.S., relating to funding for
developmental research schools; creating the Joint Developmental
Research School Planning, Articulation, and Evaluation Committee;
providing for review and repeal; providing an effective date.

I am concerned with this legislation because laboratory schools vary in
their admissions policies and mission statements. They exist for the
purpose of developing and testing educational innovations through
selective admissions policies chosen demographically to resemble the
state's public school population. In this unique capacity, they are currently
funded in the State University System's budget and do not receive funding
from the Florida Education Finance Program, but do participate in
selected public school categorical programs. I am concerned that by
reorganizing the funding mechanism and mandating that these laboratory
schools become part of the FEFP that inconsistencies between the special
mission of laboratory schools may be frustrated or partially eliminated
under this new structure.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill 823, Regular Session
of the Legislature, commencing on April 4, 1989, and do hereby veto the
same.
Sincerely,

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill
855, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and
entitled:
An act relating to insurance; creating s. 11.402, F.S.; providing
legislative intent; renumbering and amending ss. 350.061, 350.0611,
350.0612, 350.0613, and 350.0614, F.S.; directing the Legislative
Auditing Committee to appoint a Public Counsel to represent the
general public before the Department of Insurance and the Florida
Public Service Commission; providing for powers and duties;
providing that the Legislative Auditing Committee may authorize the
Public Counsel to employ certain assistants; providing for the location
of the Office of the Public Counsel; creating a Public Counsel Trust
Fund; amending s. 624.523, F.S.; relating to the Insurance
Commissioner's Regulatory Trust Fund; providing for funding of the
Office of the Public Counsel; amending s. 624.319, F.S.; granting the
Public Counsel access to examination and investigation reports
pertaining to health and motor vehicle insurance; providing an
exemption from public records requirements with respect to such
reports; providing for future review and repeal; requiring a report;
amending ss. 112.3145, 407.54 and 427.503, F.S. to conform; providing
an effective date.
The objective of the Legislature in establishing a public counsel is to
create an advocate for the consumer in insurance rate-making cases. This
is a worthy goal with good intentions, and I endorse the concept of a
consumer advocate in such circumstances for the protection of the public
and the individual consumers.
I am concerned that there are two unintended consequences of this
legislation, however, which may cause several million dollars of lost savings
to the consumers of Florida.. This is based on an initial concern that the
staffing patterns may not provide the expertise and experience in
insurance matters to make the public counsel an effective advocate for
consumers, particularly in the early stages of the legislation.
Additionally, I am concerned because the legislation fails to address the
procedures for rate increases by not taking into account the new role of a
public counsel at the time of the initial filings for an increase. Currently,
when a rate increase is submitted to the Department of Insurance, a
company begins to collect the new premium rate. The insurance

E

JOURNAL OF THE HOUSI

commissioner may act immediately when such rate increases are filed.
There is no restriction on the time when this intervention by the
Commissioner may occur.
Under the new law, an initial delay of up to 60 days results while the
public counsel makes a determination of whether or not to intervene in the
rate case. The delay may extend for longer periods of time while
preparation for the hearing is undertaken. During this period, neither the
Department nor the public counsel is authorized to order a retrospective
rate decrease. During the delay, the company is permitted to collect the
increased rate and is not required to refund the rates to the consumer
which are collected during this period of delay.
In the last calendar year, the Department, unrestricted by the delays
imposed by this legislation, adjusted increases downward based upon their
independent determination with an estimated savings of more than $18
million in the area of automobile insurance alone. With the inability of the
Department and the public counsel to continue this practice, the
consumers could lose as much as 2/3rds of these savings. I am confident
that the Legislature did not intend to create the possibility for these kinds
of results.
I am also concerned because a virtually identical version of this public
counsel law was previously enacted by the Legislature for Worker's
Compensation Insurance. The Legislature permitted the public counsel
law to sunset because it apparently was ineffective and was unable to
achieve the desired results.
During my review of the Appropriations Act, I decided not to veto the
funding provided by the Legislature for the Office of Public Counsel
because I believe the objectives to be both appropriate and well-intended.
Further, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate have
already determined that there will be a Special Session of the Legislature
in October of 1989. This provides an opportunity for the Legislature to
readdress the concept of a consumer advocate for the Department of
Insurance and to correct the deficiencies that are found in this legislation.
It is my intention to expand the purposes of the October Special Session
to include this subject matter, and to support the position of a consumer
advocate in matters relating to insurance rate-making that is free of the
problems which exist in this proposal.
For these reasons, I am withholding my approval of Committee
Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill 855, Regular Session
of the Legislature, commencing on April 4, 1989, and do hereby veto the
same.

Dear Secretary Smith:
By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, House Bill 912, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session
of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to public food services establishments; amending s.
509.013, F.S.; revising an exclusion from the definition of such
establishments for certain nonprofit organizations; creating an
exclusion from the definition of such establishments; amending s.
509.232, F.S.; providing that carnivals and similar events operated by
such organizations are exempt from certain temporary food service
regulations; providing an effective date.
I am concerned that exempting not-for-profit organizations from
temporary food service regulations would considerably weaken the
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Service's efforts in preventing
foodborne illnesses. There is potential that an increased risk to the public
will result from this exemption. Many functions to which this would apply

are carried out in temporary facilities which are more susceptible to food
contamination and other such events take place in open and unprotected

provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for
Committee Substitute for House Bill 950, enacted by the Eleventh
Legislature of Florida under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision,
during the Regular Session of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to health care; providing legislative findings and intent
with respect to rural hospitals; amending s. 381.706, F.S., exempting
certain rural hospital programs from certificate-of-need requirements;
exempting rural hospitals and emergency care hospitals from
certificate-of-need application fees; amending s. 395.002, F.S.;
defining "emergency care hospital"; amending s. 154.205, F.S.;
amending the definition of health facility; providing for licensure;
providing for participation in Medicaid and other programs and
services; providing an exemption from certificate-of-need
requirements; providing for rules; providing for a feasibility study for
developing certain postsecondary allied health training and
scholarship programs; providing for a rural hospital impact statement;
amending s. 395.102, F.S.; clarifying the definition of "rural hospital";
including specified health personnel in a loan forgiveness program;
providing for an alternative use of funds if federal matching funds are
available; amending s. 400.602, F.S.; authorizing the transfer of a
hospice to certain entities; amending s. 407.002, F.S.; clarifying the
definition of "rural hospital"; establishing the Center for Health
Technologies to be located at and administered by a statutory teaching
hospital in Dade County; establishing objectives of the center;
providing for the administration of the center; requiring reports;
authorizing the administrator of the center to accept certain funds;
providing an exception to the appropriations act with respect to
pharmacies and the prescription drug program; amending s. 395.041,
F.S.; relating to internal risk management programs; increasing the
time period for filing reports of certain incidents; amending s. 381.703,
F.S.; modifying the list of facilities subject to assessment; modifying
the facility fee assessment methodology; providing rulemaking
authority for the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services;
amending s. 381.708, F.S.; increasing the maximum fee on certificate-
of-need applications; amending s. 154.209, F.S.; authorizing health
facilities authorities to incur indebtedness for accounts receivable
cash-flow pools; providing an appropriation; providing effective dates.
This bill contains a number of provisions intended to ease the financial
instability of many rural hospitals in Florida, and directs the Department
of Education to study the feasibility of developing training programs for
the purpose of cross-training allied health personnel for employment in
rural health care facilities. Further, the bill would establish a center for
health technology to be located at and administered by a statutory
teaching hospital in Dade County. I have no objections to any of the
aforementioned provisions. I have concerns, however, with the language
that amends the Appropriations Conference Committee report as signed
by the Senate and House Conferees and adopted by the 1989 Legislature
during its Regular Session.
The language in the subject amendment to this bill would dramatically
change the prescription drug program in such a way that the cost to the
State would be $3.9 million for eleven months of program operation in
budget year 1989-1990, or $4.3 million, annualized. During its Special
Session on June 19 and 20 of this year, the Legislature also recognized this
concern and reenacted the provisions of this bill relating to rural hospitals
while eliminating the objectionable amendment.

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of
Florida, I do hereby withhold my approval and transmit to you with my
objections, Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for House Bill
964, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida under the Florida
Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session of 1989, and
entitled:
An act relating to stolen property; amending ch. 538, F.S.; creating
Part I, Second-Hand Dealers, consisting of ss. 538.03, 538.04, 538.05,

providing for registration of second-hand dealers and secondary

foundries; repealing ss. 715.04, 715.041, 715.0415, and 715.042, F.S.,
relating to pawnbrokers; providing an effective date.
The foundation for this legislation is good and its intentions and goals
are worthy. I am concerned, however, that certain legitimate businesses as
well as the consumer are adversely affected because of technical problems
relating to certain collectible items such as coins, baseball cards, and other
such items. The Legislature has recognized these technical deficiencies in
the legislation and has reenacted a corrected version of the legislation
during the Special Session on June 19 and 20 of this year.

By the authority vested in me as Governor of Florida, under the
provisions of Article III, Section 8, of the Constitution of the State of

objections, CS/HB 1119, enacted by the Eleventh Legislature of Florida
under the Florida Constitution, 1968 Revision, during the Regular Session
of 1989, and entitled:
An act relating to airports, amending s. 332.004, F.S.; providing
definitions; amending s. 332.006, F.S.; providing for separate

identification of development projects and discretionary capacity
improvement projects in the statewide aviation system plan;
permitting expenditure of funds on road and rail transportation
systems which are on airport property; amending s. 332.007, F.S.;
providing funding priority for specified airport development projects;
authorizing expenditure of funds for projects which provide for
construction of an automatic weather observation station; authorizing
retroactive reimbursement for the nonfederal share of certain land
acquisition projects; authorizing participation by the Department of
Transportation in the capital cost of eligible public airport and
aviation discretionary capacity improvement projects; authorizing
expenditure of funds for projects which provide public rail transit
access; limiting the amount of discretionary capacity improvement
project funds that a single airport may receive; allowing the
department to transfer funds for discretionary capacity improvement
projects within the discretionary capacity improvements program;
setting the rate of participation by the department in the costs of
eligible discretionary capacity improvement projects; including land
acquisition projects; amending s. 332.01, F.S.; revising the definition
of "airport" to include access to airport facilities; amending s. 334.046,
F.S.; revising department program objectives to include meeting
capacity needs of the airport and aviation system; amending s. 339.08,
F.S.; authorizing the use of moneys in the State Transportation Trust
Fund to pay for aviation projects; amending s. 333.01, F.S.; providing
definitions; amending s. 333.02, F.S.; providing for regulation of land
uses in the vicinity of airports; amending s. 333.03, F.S.; providing for
adoption of zoning regulations for runway clear zones and airport land
use compatibility; creating s. 333.031, F.S.; providing for a study

regulations in runway clear zones; amending s. 333.06, F.S.; providing
for zoning requirements; amending s. 333.07, F.S.; providing for
variance requirements; providing an effective date.
CS/HB 1119 would establish an aviation discretionary capacity
improvement program designed to enhance international capacity at
certain eligible airports in Florida by providing funds in excess of the
amounts raised from aviation fuel taxes. For an airport to be eligible under
the bill, it would need to, among other things, be in a county scheduled for
service by an interregional high-speed ground transportation service.
The concept of enhancing the international capacity of our major
airports is a worthwhile goal, but it can appropriately be addressed under
the current statutes for airport funding. Furthermore, while I agree that
the statewide high-speed rail system should be encouraged, I believe that
providing a special capacity enhancement program only for airports in
those counties scheduled to be part of such a system is inappropriate.

The following prayer was offered by Representative Reddick:
Our Lord and Savior and Messiah of Israel, we, Your children, today
invoke Thy blessings and guidance and ask Your help as we have in ages
past. We ask Your help, 0 Lord and Savior, to help us address the
monumental problems that we face in this, Your House of Representatives,
for the people of this great state. Lord, we ask Your wisdom and guidance
as we sometimes bear upon each other too hard for the good that You would
have us do. We all realize that the good that You would have us do for Your
people in this state and in this country must be accompanied by good will
for all of us.
We ask You, Lord, to help us move away from the things that
compartmentalize us, that divide us, that somehow keep us apart. Have us
ever reminded that we are all Your children and that if we are to create a
better world for other children that, as You said in Isaiah, we must come
and reason together. We understand, 0 Lord, that prayers-no matter how
long or how short-will not get us to the Promised Land where You would
have us go. Therefore we ask You, again, to help us in the spirit of
moderation, in the spirit of all that Your teaching has meant to us, that we
somehow gather today representing the hearts, the thoughts, the wishes
and the prayers of all of us in Your state, that we somehow are able to call
upon Your lessons of antiquity and call upon the love that resounds and
rebounds in each of us and come together to move away the labels that
separate us, move away the philosophy that separates us, move away from
all the divisiveness that keeps us apart.
Let us move forward and continue to be Leadership from Your people,
for Your people, in this great state. Help us, Lord, to achieve what You
would have us achieve for Your children, for Your people. All these prayers,
all of the hopes of all of us that have prayed so long and for all of the people
that continue to pray so long, help us, Lord. Help us become what You
would have us become-not any time before that-but with that. All of
these, we thank You, in Thy Name, Amen.
