COMMITTEE REPORT
February 4, 1993
H. 3347
S. Printed 2/4/93--H.
Read the first time February 2, 1993.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3347), to request the Department of Highways and Public Transportation to name the bridge at State Highway 290 and Interstate 85, etc., respectfully
That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:
DEWITT WILLIAMS, for Committee.
TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE AT STATE HIGHWAY 290 AND INTERSTATE 85 IN DUNCAN, SOUTH CAROLINA FOR J. PETER GRACE.
Whereas, J. Peter Grace is one of American industry's bluntest and most colorful executives; and
Whereas, Mr. Grace is retiring from W. R. Grace and Co. where he has been chief executive since 1945, a span unmatched by any other chief executive of a leading American industrial concern; and
Whereas, during the forty-seven year period, Mr. Grace has transformed the company from a steamship line founded by his grandfather over one hundred thirty-seven years ago to a multibillion dollar conglomerate with nearly fifty thousand employees; and
Whereas, Mr. Grace will remain chairman of the company which is one of the world's largest manufacturers of special chemicals and a leading provider of health care services; and
Whereas, W. R. Grace and Co. is the parent company of Cryovac which is headquartered in Duncan, South Carolina; and
Whereas, Cryovac employs more than twenty-five hundred people in South Carolina; and
Whereas, in order to recognize the contributions and achievements of J. Peter Grace, the members of the General Assembly believe it would be fitting to name the bridge currently under construction on State Highway 290 and Interstate 85 in honor of this man. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Highways and Public Transportation to name the bridge on State Highway 290 and Interstate 85 in Duncan, South Carolina, the "J. Peter Grace Bridge".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Grace and to the Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
