| Senator Hayes nominated Mr. Foster as follows:
"Ladies and gentlemen of the House and Senate... They told me as I was walking up to be brief and I will. But, I want to place in nomination my good friend, Sam Foster for reelection the Employment Security Commission. Sam served for 12 years in this Body, in the House, and I had the honor of serving with him for seven of those years. Many of you served with him, too, and you know wherever I speak, that Sam is an able and honest and caring person. He cares and he wants to be fair, not just for the workers, but for the employers as well. He is the type of commissioner that we need to keep on the Employment Security Commission. He is a retired educator from York County. He was one of our leaders in the York County community when we went to integration. He was the first principal of Northwestern High School and has really been a leader in our community throughout his life. In the House, he served for 12 years, and he has served for four years now as a member of Employment Security Commission where he is a past chairman of that commission. It is certainly an honor for me to place him in nomination and I would ask for your support. Thank you."
Rep. FELDER nominated Mr. McLeod as follows:
"Mr. President, members of the Joint Assembly... I certainly don't want to take up your time, but I did not know that we were going to do the formal nominating speeches. I would like to rise to nominate someone that I know personally who has served with great distinction previously in this Body. I know his wife and children. Certainly, Billy McLeod has become synonymous with being accessible, being concerned about the unemployed people of the State and the employers and has brought a tremendous amount of good humor to a very serious task. He has brought compassion. He is a very trustworthy person and really, I don't think I have to say anymore about Billy McLeod than that. Billy is a true friend of the working people of this State. He is very proud of Florence County
Rep. WRIGHT seconded the nomination of Mr. McLeod.
On motion of Rep. FELDER, nominations were closed.

I abstained from voting in the race for the members of the Employment Security Commission because my CPA firm, Wilkes & Company could likely have contested cases before this Commission and I feel that this would constitute a conflict of interest.

We thank You, Heavenly Father, that we are a part of this great Nation, born in suffering, nourished in freedom, and built upon faith in God. We are grateful for our unique positions of service in it. In this service we do not pray for easy lives, but that we may be stronger persons. We do not pray for tasks equal to our ability, but for ability to match our tasks. We do not pray for simple solutions to complex problems, but rather that You would show us the next step.
So send us now unafraid into the duties of this day as we say in confidence: "Where You lead, we will follow."
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory now and forever. Amen.
