We thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your watchful care during the night and for this new day. May we see this day as God giving to us another chance. Help us to remember that all time belongs to You - that we are not to waste it or become slaves to appointment books and time pieces. Teach us to use our time creatively and constructively. Assist us to live this day and every day that at the end there is nothing to conceal from the all-seeing eye of the Giver of all things.
With the Psalmist of old, make us to know that "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light upon my path". Amen.

H. 3355 -- Rep. Harvin: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO DESIGNATE THE WEEK OF JANUARY 26, 1986, TO FEBRUARY 1, 1986, AS "TRUCK AND BUS SAFETY WEEK".
Whereas, trucks and buses provide essential transportation services to all Americans; and
Whereas, five million trucks travel more than one hundred thirty-eight billion miles each year, bringing raw materials, finished goods, food, and other essential products to market; and
Whereas, the trucking industry alone employs more than seven million, four hundred thousand Americans and generates annual revenues in excess of two hundred billion dollars; and
Whereas, the bus industry employs approximately fifty thousand people and provides service to over ten thousand cities and communities; and
Whereas, the safe maintenance and operation of trucks and buses are vital to the health and safety of motorists, pedestrians, and other users of the Nation's highways, roads, and streets; and
Whereas, the safe maintenance and operation of trucks and buses also are vital to the companies and individuals directly involved in the provision of such transportation services; and
Whereas, the safe maintenance and operation of trucks carrying hazardous materials are essential not only to the safety of the immediate highway environment but often to the surrounding environment as well; and
Whereas, state governments are increasing their efforts to improve safety compliance both on their own and with funding assistance provided by the federal government; and
Whereas, there is a continuing need for congressional inducement to improve highway safety; and
Whereas, improvements in the safe operation of trucks and buses result from activities undertaken by management and labor, including activities to ensure driver professionalism. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly is requested to designate the week of January 26, 1986, to February 1, 1986, as "Truck and Bus Safety Week" and call upon federal, state, and local government agencies and the citizens of South Carolina to observe the week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
