The roll was called by the Clerk of the House of Representatives, who announced that a quorum was not present.
Rep. Ed Clemente, from the 14th District offered the following invocation:
"Madame Curie once said 'nothing in Life is to be feared, only to be understood'.
Give this body the ability to realize that servant leadership is our responsibility and our opportunity.
We must first learn to listen to others, in order to truly understand the gravity and humbleness of the decisions we must make, in fulfilling our responsibilities.
We must always keep in mind that in order to achieve our goals, we must first help others achieve theirs.
Finally, let us remember to always appreciate and be grateful for this brief life path we are on, and never take this gift for granted. Amen."
