The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
O Thou unseen but ever present God, with eyes focused upon Your glory and greatness which no earth-born cloud can dim, we lift our thoughts in search for Your way which stabs the horizons with a great and powerful force. In all and above all, give us an unfaltering faith which uses challenges and opportunities as the materials for courageous victory. In the strength of the knowledge of Your constant and never failing presence, make us strong that we neither faint nor fear.
Hear us in this our prayer which we make with thankful hearts and in undaunting faith. Amen.

H. 4251 -- Reps. Sheheen, J. Rogers, Beasley, Bennett, R. Brown, Carnell, Foster, P. Harris, McLellan, McTeer, Moss, Washington and Wilkins: A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO INVITE MRS. MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN, DIRECTOR OF THE CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND IN WASHINGTON, D.C., TO ADDRESS THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THE HALL OF THE HOUSE ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 11, 1990.
Mrs. Edelman was escorted to the rostrum by Reps. BEASLEY, WHITE, WASHINGTON and WHIPPER.
Rep. J. ROGERS introduced the honored guest as follows:
"My fellow members and all South Carolinians, it is a special honor and treat for me today to introduce to you, Marian Wright Edelman. Marian is an unusual person and we are particularly lucky to get an opportunity to have her with us today. She will bring some brief remarks to us here in this chamber. She is going to speak to the Senate and the Governor is presenting her with an award this morning, so her schedule is tight. We have tried to get her before. She passed through our state last year receiving honorary degrees from South Carolina and the University of North Carolina on, I believe, the same weekend. We couldn't get her at that time. Marian Wright Edelman, founder and president of the Children's Defense Fund, has been an advocate for disadvantaged Americans for her entire professional career. Under her leadership, the Washington based Children's Defense Fund has become one of the nation's most active and effective organizations concerned with a wide range of children and family issues, particularly those which most affect our poorest American children. The Children's Defense Fund's mission is to educate the nation about the needs of children and encourage preventive investment in children before they get sick, drop out of school, suffer an early pregnancy or family breakdown or get into trouble. Marian was born in Bennettsville, South Carolina and graduated from Spelman College in 1960. She earned her law degree from Yale Law School in 1963. In 1971, Time Magazine named her one of America's 200 young leaders. Marian was the first black woman elected to the Yale University Corporation. Currently, she serves on the boards of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Aetna Life and Casualty Foundation, March of Dimes and she chairs the Board of Trustees of her alma mater, Spelman College. Mrs. Edelman is married to Peter Edelman, a professor of law at Georgetown University. They have three sons, Joshua, Jonah and Ezra. They live in Washington, D.C. Several weeks ago, Marian is frequently on national television, I was pleased to see her on a 60 Minute program on CBS. She was described as the most influential woman in America. She can be influential on a given issue. She is consumed by one passion, and that passion is one that you could join her in, that passion is children. I present to you, Marian Wright Edelman."
"Thank you, thank you very much...I am delighted to be home and I thank you for welcoming me so warmly, Mr. SPEAKER, Mr. SPEAKER Pro Tempore, Marlboro County's representative. I am proud to be here with them on this stage and to be with all of you in South Carolina. The Junior League has done a very good job in bringing us here and the children are very much appreciative of this state and I'm sure that will continue. I'm also delighted that Governor Campbell is offering me the Order of the Palmetto. Governor Riley gave me this award some years ago, so I now know that with Governor Campbell's affirmation of this, that children are a bi-partisan concern in the state of South Carolina and I am very grateful for that. We are going to have to open our eyes and our ears, our hearts, and see and hear and respond to our children. With the increased competition abroad and 4 million fewer 18 to 24 year olds in the year 2000 than there were in the mid 1980's, we do not have a child to waste, yet every eight seconds of the school day, an American child drops out, every 26 seconds, as we sit here, an American child runs away from home. Every 47 seconds, an American child is abused and neglected. Every 67 seconds, an American teenager has a baby. Every seven minutes, an American child is arrested for a drug offense and they are not mostly the poorest. There are urban drug offenses, middle class white kids are involved in the drug problems, too. Every 30 minutes, an American child is arrested for drunken driving. Every 36 minutes, an American child is injured by guns. Every 53 minutes, an American child dies because of poverty. Every day in our wealthy nation, 100,000 children are homeless. On Monday, we issued a report card on how competitive America is with other industrialized nations in caring for its children. We found that we are not competitive in preparing for our future and investing in our children. Although, we are the wealthiest nation on earth, and the standard of democracy with an "A" capacity to care for our children, we have an "F" performance on many key indicators of a child's well-being. Our 1-year olds have lower immunization rates against polio than 1-year olds in 14 other countries. If we take our immunization rates for non-white babies, we rank at 49th behind countries like Botswana and Colombia. This is not only wrong, its bad budget policy. Every dollar we invest in immunization for our children saves $10 later on. Our infant mortality rates lag behind 18 other nations. Comparing our non-white infant mortality rates, we rank 30th in the world compared with lower rates of other countries. An industrialized country, South Africa, now provides universal health coverage in child care and parental needs. I was disturbed when I looked at the childhood mortality rate of children under five. We do a less good job than 21 other countries. We lag behind East Germany.
Inadequate management performance is reflected in inadequate performance in all 50 states and in the District of Columbia. On 20 key indicators of progress and investing in children, the highest state score was 65, which was Vermont. But, I turned out to be proud of South Carolina, because we tied for 7th with California among the 50 states and the District of Columbia investing in our children and in indicators of child well-being, so that is the good news. I deeply appreciate the efforts that this state has made, and the good help of this legislature in really investing in early childhood education because it is beginning to pay off in the kind of progress you have been making. We're moving in the right direction, we just have to keep moving there, keep investing and staying with it, because while we are up at the top of state performance, the bad news is that we are still flunking. Our scores are 45 percent here in South Carolina and I know that we can become an "A" state. South Carolina led the 17 southern states, of all the states, on our report card. But, there are few issues that we ought to pay attention to in the fact that between 1978 and 1987, South Carolina saw the sharpest decline in the proportion of women receiving early prenatal care than any state in the nation. We rank 49th on that key indicator. Investing in prenatal care is good budget policy. Every $600 we invest in good prenatal care, we are lowering the low birth weight babies that need the neonatal intensive care that costs on the average of $1,000 a day. In 1987, South Carolina ranked 48th in the nation in both infant mortality and low birth weights. At the rate we are making progress in our state, we are not going to meet the Surgeon General's goals on infant mortality by 1990. Our state has made progress in reducing childbearing among teens. Over the 1980's, 32 states made better progress than South Carolina and we are still 41st in birthrates. South Carolina's children are still too poor. While we've been paying attention to poor children in our state, 39 states are doing better on childhood poverty and you've seen a 12 percent poverty increase during the 1980's. And one in four of our children is poor. In 1989, South Carolina was one of 50 states with a fair market value of a modest apartment in a metropolitan area that exceeded 30 percent of the federal poverty level and we are having a problem, as you know, with safe affordable housing. In 1987, South Carolina increased the proportion of ninth graders that graduated from high school by five percent, but 39 states had better graduation rates. South Carolina is not one of 20 states that provides sufficient quality assurance of infants and child care centers. And I'm delighted that the Governor and members of this legislature have put so much emphasis on early childhood education. You know as well as anybody else, that not only must we invest consistently more, we must insure that it is of good quality. And I hope that you will continue the progress that you have made. South Carolina is also not one of 28 states that has state funding and programs to find or create jobs for non-college bound youths. I know how concerned you are about economic development and I'm sure with the investment you make in education, that this will begin to pay off, but again systematic continued investment in the kind of education improvements that have yielded such positive results, will yield results in the future and we look forward to working with you on that. In ten years, when we face a new century, with new global economic military challenges, Americans and South Carolina are going to be ready to compete economically and lead. If we set clear our national, state, city, community and personal goals for child survival and development, I am convinced that our nation can become number one in caring for our children. I am convinced that our nation will become number one. There is no greater moral or economic challenge facing us, so we look forward to South Carolina not just being 7th in the country, but being 1. I thank you for your leadership and I urge you to continue. Thank you for letting me come."
Upon the conclusion of her address, Mrs. Edelman and her escort party retired from the Chamber.

So, the Free Conference Report was adopted and a message was ordered sent to the Senate accordingly.
Explanation of vote on adoption of Free Conference Report, H. 3739:
Greenville County will lose a great deal of money to other less populous counties under terms of this legislation. My vote reflects my conviction that this tax increase will harm the people of Greenville County. Rep. DILL BLACKWELL
I voted against the Local Sales Tax, H. 3739, for the following reasons:
1. Sales tax is a regressive tax. It absorbs the income of the poor more than the middle to upper income.
2. Sales tax affects the elderly and those on a fixed income. Their purchasing power is diminished.
3. Sales tax is not deductible on income tax returns, but property taxes are.
4. Local option puts counties in business competition with each other, and it also affects the border counties near North Carolina and Georgia and could decrease their revenues because of loss of sales.
5. Retailers will have a big job of bookkeeping, especially the chain stores that operate in some counties that have the tax and some that don't.
6. Currently, S.C. ranks 29th in sales taxes paid per capita. If every county adopts the local option sales tax, we will go to number 18. State revenue will be decreased because purchasing power is reduced, therefore less taxable goods are bought.
7. The rollback feature does not guarantee that local governments will not increase property tax millage. There is no cap imposed and this feature is not stated in the referendum.
8. This Bill provides for subsidizing one county by another county. Rep. IRENE K. RUDNICK
