The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Doug Mertz of the Juneau Friends Meeting. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Let us pray today on the theme of honesty and integrity: Oh God, help us to recall that our primary duty is service to Thee, that above all we owe a duty of honesty and integrity to Thee and to all Thy creation. In times when many believe that public servants lack true integrity, let us each resolve that our own integrity comes not from an honest face and outward demeanor, but from within -- from knowing that in every dealing, with family, with colleagues, with the public, and with ourselves -- we are direct and straightforward, neither evading nor concealing the truth, and freely admitting when we do not have the answers. Let us begin and end each day by asking, are we honest and truthful in word and deed? Do we maintain strict integrity in all our transactions, official and personal? Are we personally honorable and trustworthy in the conduct of all public affairs entrusted to us? Amen. 2867 2000-04-05 Senate Journal Page 2868 Senator Mackie led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
