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:

Possess us, Lord, with such a measure of virtues to be a blessing not only now but for the days ahead, such virtues as: in society, make us courteous; in work, make us thorough; in play, keep us fair; to the unfortunate, give us pity; to the weak, give us the ability to help; and toward God, it is reverence and love.

All along life's way, may we "seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness," doing good as we go knowing that good deeds are like a river, the deeper it flows the less noise it makes.

In Your Holy Name we pray. 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.

After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.

Dear Rep. Williams:

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the South Carolina State Museum Foundation, I seek approval of our March 22, 1994, event, listed below, as an official event of the South Carolina House and ask that it be made part of the House's official Calendar.

We are planning the opening reception for the exhibit, "THE BIG ONE THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY," which will focus on record fish caught in South Carolina. The hours will be from 6:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M., and it will be held at the South Carolina State Museum.

Serving on the honorary committee for the exhibit are Governor Carroll A. Campbell, THE STATE outdoor sportswriter Pat Robertson, South Carolina Wildlife Executive Director Jim Timmerman, country music star and fisherman Aaron Tippin and outdoorsman and writer Jim Casada.

At this reception, we want to honor the South Carolina General Assembly and Constitutional Officers, as well as draw attention to one of South Carolina's most popular sporting activities. Also invited will be the anglers who caught these record fish as well as the 7,500 members of the Friends of the State Museum. The museum's major donors will also be our special guests. Total attendance should be around 400-500 people.

I am now in the process of seeking sponsors for the exhibit and reception, primarily from the fishing industry. If you need to know these names, I will be glad to provide them once they have agreed to take part.

Sincerely,
Patricia D. Cooper
Executive Vice President
