(Statewide Session)

Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.

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

O Lord our God, we are ever bold to come into Your presence for we are confidently sure that You are more ready to hear than we to pray. Help us to see that the evils that threaten us are not to be shot down, or even to be argued down, but to be lived down. Remove from our hearts any ill will that lurks there, all resentment that curdles and corrodes our peace of conscience. Take away every stubborn pride that would make bitter the best and the highest. Make us leaders with inspired ideas that shall cause this great State to move forward and be a part in making the American dream to come true.

We make our prayer to an ever present and all powerful God. 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 the SPEAKER.

Whereas, the Easter Seal Society has again embarked upon its most worthwhile project to raise funds for handicapped children, culminating in the thirty-seventh annual "B.A.C. - Coffee Day for Handicapped Children" in South Carolina on Good Friday, March 24, 1989; and

Whereas, under the statewide leadership of R.B. "Joe" Dean, State Easter Seal President, and Mrs. Carroll A. Campbell, Honorary State Campaign Chair, and Allen P. Corbett, State Campaign Chair, ably assisted by Lt. Edward R. Tallon, Sr., State President, Major Alton T. Morris, "B.A.C." Project Chairman, and John L.

Scotty Langham, Jr., President, from the South Carolina Restaurant Association, this program is destined to raise thousands of dollars to aid our very deserving handicapped children and assist them in overcoming their disabilities: and

Whereas, the "B.A.C." buttons will go on sale on Friday, March 10, 1989; and

Whereas, the "B.A.C." project and all other programs of the Easter Seal Society deserve the support and merit the praise of all the citizens of the State. Now, therefore,

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

That Wednesday, March 8, 1989, is designated "Handicapped Children's Day" in South Carolina and that Benjamin (B.J.) Anthony, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Anthony, Sr. of Charleston County; James J. (Joey) Cameron, son of Mr. and Mrs. James M.

Be it further resolved that the General Assembly extends to the Easter Seal Society and its many dedicated supporters its sincere wishes for continued success in its many constructive and compassionate programs on behalf of persons with disabilities.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Herman L. Shealy, Jr., Executive Director of the Easter Seal Society, for distribution to the state chairmen of the various phases of the Easter Seal campaign and the "B.A.C." project, as well as to the State Easter Seal Representatives themselves.

S. 161 -- Senators Lourie, Giese, Courson and Patterson: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE SPIRIT OF "GLASNOST", HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF SOVIET JEWS, CHRISTIANS, AND MOSLEMS TO EMIGRATE.

Whereas, over three hundred eighty thousand Jews have taken the first steps to apply for permission to leave the Soviet Union; and

Whereas, although a marked increase from the nine hundred fourteen Jews allowed to leave the Soviet Union in 1986, Jewish emigration in 1987 (up to September 30 of that year) reached a total of five thousand four hundred three -- a small percentage of those permitted to emigrate in 1979, when fifty-one thousand three hundred emigrated; and

Whereas, while the Soviet Union is a signatory to the Helsinki Accords and other international covenants regarding emigration, permission to emigrate continues to be granted or denied arbitrarily by the Soviet authorities; and

Whereas, the Soviet Union has adopted a new policy of "glasnost", or openness, for all its citizens; and

Whereas, it is anticipated that talks between President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev will continue between the General Secretary and President George Bush during the new United States Administration; and

Whereas, it is imperative that the importance of the continuing struggle on behalf of the rights of Soviet Jews, Christians, and Moslems be recognized. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, supports the spirit of "glasnost", human rights, and the rights of Soviet Jews, Christians, and Moslems to emigrate.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith the Jewish Community Relations Council, the Soviet Jewry Council, each member of the South Carolina Congressional delegation at Washington, D.C., the President of the United States, and General Secretary Gorbachev of the Soviet Union.
