Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

There are times, our God, when the road becomes so difficult that we feel it is easier to give up than to keep on struggling. At times like these, give us the courage and the determination to fight the good fight, inspired in the knowledge that the more difficult the climb the more spectacular the view. Enable us to see each day as an opportunity to use what we have learned in the past. Grant to us a clear vision to see Your mercies as old as eternity and yet new every morning, which vision makes stars out of our scars.

Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by Rep. HOLT.

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

On motion of Rep. McLELLAN, with unanimous consent, the following was taken up for immediate consideration:

H. 3319 -- Reps. McLellan, Sheheen, Townsend, Kay, Klapman, Blackwell, Blatt, Toal, Simpson, Alexander, McAbee, Helmly, Tucker, Winstead, Dangerfield, McTeer and Chamblee: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THE WORDS "DATE DUE" WITH RESPECT TO THE DATE BY WHICH PAYMENT MUST BE MADE IN SECTION 16(3), PART II, OF ACT 512 OF 1984 (THE PHASED-IN EXEMPTION OF BUSINESS INVENTORIES FROM AD VALOREM TAXATION) MEANS THE DATE AFTER WHICH PENALTIES ATTACH FOR PAYMENT OF 1985 AD VALOREM TAXES IN THE VARIOUS TAXING JURISDICTIONS OF THIS STATE.

Whereas, in Section 16(3), Part II, of Act 512 of 1984, the General Assembly provided for a phased-in exemption from ad valorem taxation of business inventories; and

Whereas, until the amendments to Section 12-45-70 of the 1976 Code apply uniformly statewide, due dates for the payment of ad valorem taxes may vary among taxing jurisdictions; and

Whereas, it was not the intent of the General Assembly in enacting the business inventory exemption to put unfamiliar requirements on taxpayers in claiming the exemption. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That it is the sense of the General Assembly that the words "date due" with respect to the date by which payment must be made in Section 16(3), Part II, of Act 512 of 1984 (the phased-in exemption of business inventories from ad valorem taxation) means the date after which penalties attach for payment of 1985 ad valorem taxes in the various taxing jurisdictions of this State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable Earle E. Morris, Jr., Comptroller General of the State of South Carolina.

The Concurrent Resolution was agreed to and ordered sent to the Senate.

REPORT OF STANDING COMMITTEE

Rep. BARFIELD, from the Committee on Invitations and Memorial Resolutions submitted a favorable report, on:

H. 2997 -- Reps. Blanding, White, Washington, D. Martin, Woods, Gilbert, Williams, Foster, Taylor, Mitchell, K. Bailey, McBride and Faber: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO MEMORIALIZE THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE CERTAIN IMMEDIATE ACTIONS IN REGARD TO FOOD PRODUCTION, FARM DEBT, LOANS, AND FORECLOSURES, GOVERNMENT FARM AND TRADE PROGRAMS, ANTI-TRUST PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FOOD CARTELS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITHIN THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, AND EMERGENCY FOOD RELIEF TO AFRICA AND DEVELOPING NATIONS.

H. 2997--ADOPTED

On motion of Rep. BARFIELD, with unanimous consent, the following Resolution was taken up for immediate consideration.

H. 2997 -- Reps. Blanding, White, Washington, D. Martin, Woods, Gilbert, Williams, Foster, Taylor, Mitchell, K. Bailey, McBride and Faber: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO MEMORIALIZE THE PRESIDENT AND THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE CERTAIN IMMEDIATE ACTIONS IN REGARD TO FOOD PRODUCTION, FARM DEBT, LOANS, AND FORECLOSURES, GOVERNMENT FARM AND TRADE PROGRAMS, ANTI-TRUST PROCEEDINGS AGAINST FOOD CARTELS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITHIN THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, AND EMERGENCY FOOD RELIEF TO AFRICA AND DEVELOPING NATIONS.

Whereas, ending the starvation in Africa requires thirty million tons a year of cereal and animal and vegetable protein foods from outside the continent for three years; and

Whereas, worldwide food supplies per capita are shrinking dangerously and annual world grain production has declined from eighteen bushels per capita to fifteen bushels per capita when every person needs the equivalent of twenty-four bushels per person per year for a healthy diet, including animal protein; and

Whereas, the agricultural output potential of the developing sector nations is being destroyed through the International Monetary Fund system; and

Whereas, a small number of world food cartels and private family trusts have consolidated monopoly control over international food, trade, and shipping facilities, domestic food processing, and farm supply companies, and this poses a threat to national and western security because agreements have been made to guarantee Soviet food stocks resulting in food scarcities in the west; and

Whereas, the potential agricultural production of the globe is enormous if emergency measures are implemented immediately and provision is begun for applying a wave of advanced technologies to developing largescale infrastructure projects such as dams, irrigation systems, ports and to providing cheap, plentiful power. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of South Carolina hereby memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States:

1. To ensure emergency food production orders to guarantee resumed livestock development and spring planting, including:

a. a stay on all farm foreclosures;

b. a freeze on farm debt, pending reorganization and profitability;

c. the issuance of low interest production credits at two to four percent rates for maximum spring planting, herd build-up, and capital equipment improvements; and

d. government-to-government food commodity trade commitments to guarantee cost-of-production parity prices to farmers in all trading partner nations;

2. To institute investigations and anti-trust proceedings against the food, shipping, and chemical cartel companies starting with conflict-of-interest hearings on the role of former cartel executives who occupy positions within the United States Department of Agriculture;

3. To conduct a national grain and food inventory to produce an accurate public record of national food stocks and total western food supplies, and to set production objectives like the World War II mobilization; and

4. To provide emergency food to Africa and all other points of need and to supply the logistics and infrastructural assistance needed to allow the most rapid economic development.

Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, the United States Senate, the United States House of Representatives, and to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation.

The Concurrent Resolution was adopted and ordered sent to the Senate.
