The speaker the house will be in order. The prayer will be offered by chaplain kibben. Chaplain kibben would you pray with me. Almighty god, in these halls of power, where decisions change lives and shape national policy, we pause to acknowledge your sovereignty over us and our nation. You have laid on the shoulders of these lawmakers the mantle of your own authority. And we pray for both the wisdom and the humility to wield it carefully. When they are inclined, as we all are, to take sole credit for the achievements you have orchestrated, call them away to a quiet place, away from the enticement of the world and reveal to them your involvement in their activities. And inspire in them again their call to servant leadership. When any of us are hesitant to use the positions and the possibilities you lay before us, we pray your blessing over even the most meager of our gifts. Multiply their impact exponentially. May they be sufficient to meet the needs of the people on the country you hav

Just to answer Supervisor Chans question. Its a fiveyear contract plus an additional five years, and theres an option to buy an additional fiveyear warrant. During the decade, we are fairly certain that theres going to be some switch, you know, from 4g to the 5g and maybe beyond 5g, so we were just lucky to have that available for the hardware thats going to be out there and would have that feature. Should it come in the future, theres no need to spend any funds in t
