The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
O God of compassion and concern, it is natural for us to condemn the evil of those who caused the tremendous tragedy at Oklahoma City. But in our horror at those who would cause such a catastrophe, make us not overlook the acts of kindness of helpfulness of so many others who by their compassion for those who are suffering are giving themselves in complete dedication of helpfulness. God, continue to bless the efforts of those who go about doing good. And may their self-sacrificing service be an example to inspire us to render service to our fellowmen wherever and whenever the need arises.
Lord God, support and sustain with Your strength in keeping with Your knowledge of the needs of all. Amen.

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death on Wednesday, April 19, 1995, of The Honorable B. L. Hendricks, who served in the House of Representatives for twenty-two years; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks held a South Carolina House Seat longer than anyone from Pickens County; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks will be long remembered as a soft-spoken gentleman who preferred integrity over attention; and
Whereas, during his twenty-two years in the House of Representatives, he served as Chairman of the Medical, Military, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee and was a member of the Rules Committee, Judiciary Committee, and Judicial Screening Committee; and
Whereas, Representative Hendricks was a World War II pilot who went on to become the Mayor of Easley; and
Whereas, he also served for a number of years on the Citadel Board of Visitors, also served on the Board of Trustees of the Medical University of South Carolina, on the Board of Visitors at Clemson University, later was appointed as a Director on the Board of Santee Cooper, and most recently served on the Advisory Board of First Union Bank; and
Whereas, B. L. Hendricks was an outstanding individual and active civic leader; he was active in business and politics and supported many charitable causes; he was a man who believed strongly in community service and lived his life accordingly; and
Whereas, he was a member of Easley First Baptist Church, a member of the
Coley Cleveland Sunday School Class, served several terms as a church deacon,
and later was appointed as deacon emeritus; and
Whereas, history will record that Pickens County and the State of South Carolina are better because B.L. Hendricks passed this way; and
Whereas, we, the members of the General Assembly want his wife, Carolyn W. Hendricks, and two sons, Bennett L. Hendricks III and Glen F. Vick to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts and have our deepest sympathy. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
