SENATE JOURNAL

FORTY-SEVENTH DAY

Tuesday, April 3, 2001

PROCEEDINGS

The Senate met at 10:00 a.m. pursuant to adjournment and was called to order by the President.

The roll was called and the following Senators were present: Armbrister, Barrientos, Bernsen, Bivins, Brown, Cain, Carona, Duncan, Ellis, Fraser, Gallegos, Harris, Haywood, Jackson, Lindsay, Lucio, Madla, Moncrief, Nelson, Ogden, Shapiro, Shapleigh, Sibley, Staples, Truan, Van de Putte, Wentworth, West, Whitmire, Zaffirini, Mr. President.

The President announced that a quorum of the Senate was present.

The Reverend Mike Aus, Living Word Lutheran Church, Katy, offered the invocation as follows:

Heavenly Father, we give You thanks for protecting us through the night from all danger and harm and bringing us safely to this new day. Preserve and strengthen us this day for the work You have called us to do. Keep our thoughts pure, our intentions true, our words kind, and our actions loving.

Pour out Your spirit upon these Senators and all the leaders of the State of Texas, that they might accomplish great things in this session. As they go about their important work keep the needs of our weaker brothers and sisters ever in their thoughts: the sick, the lonely, the forgotten, the unemployed, victims of violence, the homeless, the hungry, the chemically dependent. And especially in this month of April, we remember the victims of sexual assault. May these Senators be a voice for those who have no voice, that the work they do here will alleviate suffering, preserve Your creation, and bless all the people of Texas.

And as we are strangers and pilgrims on this Earth, help us to prepare for the world to come, keeping our minds and hearts focused on things eternal. Let Your holy angels watch over us and the wicked one have no power over us. To You be honor, praise, and glory forever and ever. Amen.

On motion of Senator Truan and by unanimous consent, the reading of the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday was dispensed with and the Journal was approved.
