The House assembled at 3:00 P.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
O God, our Father, Who rules the world in wisdom and uprightness, make all our words and our every action conform with Your will. In the fragile and tangled human relationships, help us to be as exacting with ourselves as we are of others. Make our thinking keen and clear, our speech frank and open, and our decisions for the good of our fellowbeings and altogether in accord with Your will. Forbid that the glaring lights of temptation shall ever blur our vision of the moral law of Mt. Sinai or the eternal truths of the Sermon on the Mount which are as unchanging as the stars above. Amen.

LEAVES OF ABSENCE
The SPEAKER granted Reps. TOWNSEND, SNOW and EDWARDS a leave of absence for the day.
The SPEAKER granted Rep. JONES a leave of absence for the week.
On motion of Rep. CORK, with unanimous consent, Rep. LOCKEMY'S remarks were ordered printed in the Journal as follows:
Mr. Speaker and Members of the House:
I have written down the words I am about to say because I am not sure that emotion would permit me to speak off the cuff concerning this.
Last week, I attended the ceremonies in San Antonio, Texas concerning the 150th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo. It's funny, the word anniversary really should not be used here because it was a very solemn occasion, but for lack of a better word that is what I will use. While there, I realized that people in America are aware of South Carolina's contributions to not only the history of Texas but to the history and development of our country. That battle alone had more to do with the opening of the West and the expansion of our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific than any other incident in American history.
When last year I began to move for recognition for the individuals from South Carolina who willingly gave their lives to seek the independence of Texas and to further the American spirit, I did so with a desire to inform the rest of this country of South Carolina achievement. I find now, after it is all over, that the rest of the country is more aware of our achievement than the people of this State are aware of it. You cannot imagine the feeling of pride when I was permitted to walk in the final pageant and carry our South Carolina flag as they read the names of the South Carolinians who died at the Alamo and the applause that came as someone dressed as William Travis walked next with his sword and looking so bold and brave as did the man as Bonham and Neggan and the two Nelson brothers and Crawford and Simmons. The country knows of our achievement but we also need to know about it.
Regardless of that, you did me a great honor by permitting me to represent our State in Texas. Last year when things appeared lowest as they could be regarding my efforts to seek recognition, many of you in this House came to my aid. As Travis received no help, I received a lot, and without it these efforts would have received the same results as his fall at the Alamo. I still remember when it had been knocked out of the budget, John Bradley stood up and said, "What's happened to our money for the South Carolinians at the Alamo?" I still remember Mr. Mangum agreeing to do whatever he could to help in this endeavor. Many others of you came and offered your assistance and for that I am grateful, including Rep. Beasley who took up a collection which helped pay my expenses and the newspapers who took up the cause--Greenville News, The State and Charles Wickenburg, as well as my home town Dillon Herald.
To conclude, my appearance there last week was exhilarating to say the least. To walk in the same footsteps as those heroes causes one to tremble and to feel humble just being in the same space as they. Thank you so very much for your help to this insignificant history buff that he could realize a dream that began in the 7th grade. I hope that now we can educate our State and form a private group if necessary to better inform the citizens of this State of the heroes at the Alamo. One day I would love to see a monument or a marker on the State House grounds commemorating their efforts and commemorating their deaths which enabled America to become a land from sea to shining sea.
But I will never forget each and everyone of you. I am aware that there will be many battles in the legislature that we will individually disagree on, but of this one event, I am indebted to you for helping to make my dreams come true. I have left a little momento which I purchased for you on March 6, 1986 at the Alamo and please know that it is only a small token to thank you for remembering me, but more importantly you remembered the Alamo.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
