Loving God, You bless us with abundant resources and a generous people. Give us grace to honor You with all over which we have been made stewards in Your creation.

Open our eyes to the despair in the lives of many and to the wrongs that need to be made right. Give us a vision of our land as You would have it to be, and as You alone can fashion it. Teach us to bear one another's burdens. May You bless abundantly the men and women of this assembly who are Your partners in service to the people of this State of South Carolina. Give us the wisdom and the strength to know Your will and do it. Amen.

The following screening of candidates took place at the Blatt Building, Pendleton Street, Columbia, South Carolina, on the 25th day of February, 2002, before Sonya S. Keesee, Court Reporter and Notary Public in and for the State of South Carolina.

Representative Olin Phillips
Representative Lanny F. Littlejohn
Representative Becky Martin
Representative Jesse Hines
Senator Warren K. Giese
Senator Maggie W. Glover

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: I call the Joint Screening Committee to order. And at this time, I would like to ask Representative Jesse Hines if he would lead us in a moment of prayer.
REPRESENTATIVE HINES: May we pray.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you very much, Jesse. I'd like to introduce our committee members. Starting on my right is Senator Leonard Short, Senator Thomas Alexander, Senator Maggie Glover, Senator Warren Giese. To my left, Representative Jesse Hines, Representative Lanny Littlejohn, Representative Becky Martin, and myself, Olin Phillips, and our staff has so employed with us today?
COURT REPORTER: Sonya Keesee.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you very much, our court stenographer. We're going to try to accommodate the swearing in of the candidates here. We've got requests from maybe a couple of people that need to do something and with your indulgence we're going to take a couple out of order. And if you don't mind, when we screen you, if you're an incumbent and do not have opposition, we would ask you to make just a brief comment if you want to, but if not, we're going into the direct questioning of you, and hopefully we can get this moving on fairly quickly. I know you're going to wonder when you can ask for support. We have several people who could not be here today due to sickness and we have some who have other professions that could not be here by virtue of having to perform operations today. All of this has to be transcribed by our court stenographer and put in both House and Senate journals, so we're not sure when that can be completed. We will let you know possibly as short as we can when you can solicit support. When we get through with you today, you will still not be able to go out and solicit support because some candidates will not be screened yet and we need to get all our screening behind and issue a report and put it in the journal, and the Screening Committee's report given to all our House members and Senators. So for that reason, we can't do that. We will ask you not to solicit until you're notified. We will notify you in plenty of time that you can get screened -- ask for support from various House and Senate members. The election cannot be held until in mid-April anyway, and so they're really not in a big rush to run out and start getting a pledge and asking for support. I know you want to get that done, get your seats

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: All opposed, no. None. All the candidates that have been screened so far are now duly qualified as a candidate. Okay. Now we go to South Carolina State University, Congressional District 3, Mr. Charles C. Lewis, Sr. asked to be excused today. We go to Seat 7. at-large, Mr. Charles H. Williams, II.
CHARLES H. WILLIAMS, II, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, do you have any appointed or elected positions that would cause dual office holding?
MR. WILLIAMS: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you have any conflict of interest, business-wise or anything that would cause you to have a conflict of interest in serving on the board?
MR. WILLIAMS: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you have any illness or anything, sicknesses, to keep you from serving in a timely fashion?

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: We've got a couple of requests we need to really do. And y'all don't like me being here, so I'm going to take Bobby Bowers who draws the map. I want him to put me in Chimney Rock.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you. Nos? No nos? Thank you, sir. All right, we'll go to Clemson University, Mr. Doug Kingsmore. Harold Doug Kingsmore. Three seats.
HAROLD DOUG KINGSMORE, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Mr. Kingsmore, do you hold any other appointed or elected positions that we ...
MR. KINGSMORE: No, I do not.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: None. How about, do you have any conflict of interest by serving?
MR. KINGSMORE: No, sir.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. Thank you. You are now qualified and we'll let you know when to start seeking support. Okay.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: Mr. Chairman, are we going back to the College of Charleston? We didn't finish that.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: There was one seat on the College of Charleston. What I'd like to do, we've got quite a number of other counties that are unopposed if we could run through them right quick before we get back to the opposition. And I think the next 15, 16 counties are unopposed. And if we would, we could run through that and get those out of the way. That would clear up some. Let's go to Coastal Carolina.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: And no? None. Mr. Hodge, you're qualified to seek when the time comes. Thank you very much. Okay. We'll go to Francis Marion University. There's no seat contested, so we'll call Mr. Randall Dozier, Dr. Randall Dozier, seat 1, District -- District 1, seat 1.
DR. H. RANDALL DOZIER, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, have you been appointed to any other position, elected or appointed to anything that would constitute you in dual office holdings?
DR. DOZIER: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: In your business, does it offer any kind of conflict?
DR. DOZIER: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: How about the health -- any health-related matters, sir?
DR. DOZIER: None that would keep me from serving on the Board, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you, sir. Go ahead, sir.
DR. DOZIER: Thank you. I've served on the Board at Francis Marion since about 1991. I resigned in January, I think, of 2001, due to relocation. So I'm actually not an incumbent, however, I am offered to seat 1. I have served in a number of capacities on the board including Chairman of Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, of those 10 years. I am a graduate and have a vested interest in the Pee Dee. My family still resides there, and I presently live at Murrells Inlet.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any questions for Mr. Dozier? None? Thank you, sir.
DR. DOZIER: Thank you.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Next is the 2nd district, seat 3, Mr. William M. Ellen.
WILLIAM M. ELLEN, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, have you been appointed to any other or elected to any position that would constitute dual office holding?
MR. ELLEN: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, do you in your business have any conflict for serving on this board?

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. Gentlemen, you're all certified now to seek when the time comes. Thank you very much.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. So gentlemen, ladies, you are now screened and you'll be able to start selecting when we get an opportunity to let you know. Thank you very much. We'll go down to the Medical University of South Carolina. 1st district, medical, Dr. Donald R. Johnson, II. Dr. Johnson. Thank you, sir.
DR. DONALD R. JOHNSON, II, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, do you hold any elected or appointed position in your community that would cause a conflict of dual office holding?
DR. JOHNSON: No.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Either your personal or business would not constitute any kind of conflict of interest by serving?
DR. JOHNSON: No.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, do you have any health related matters that the Committee needs to be aware of?
DR. JOHNSON: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you, sir. Go ahead.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Nos? None. So, gentlemen and ladies, you're reported out and we'll let you know when the screening -- I mean, when the time to start solicitation. Hopefully, very soon. We're now -- we lack one more. We're going to go to College of Charleston.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: Mr. Chairman, I had a request. Can we move to ...
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Just a second. We're going to have to take a little time out, pause for the cause, and we'll be right back.

(Break was taken from 3:11 p.m. until 3:15 p.m.)

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. All of you screened out. At this time we need to take up another item that has come to our attention. Mr. Charlie Appleby had brought it to our attention that he feels that Ms. Margaret Addison did not file timely by virtue of a fax that she sent in and did not -- the fax was not received here by 12:00. And he is saying that the fax shows that it came in at 3:45 p.m. on November the 7th. Here is the fax, and this is Mr. Appleby. Mr. Appleby, do you want to say anything? Mr. Appleby, now, you do know our clock was out of order that day. To what extent, we've got letters here saying that it was broken, to what extent and how much the clock was out of order, I can't tell you. The fax is here. We'll let the Committee look at it and we'll discuss it while we're here with Mr. Appleby.
MR. APPLEBY: You want me to be excused?
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir?
MR. APPLEBY: Would you like me to be excused?
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: No, no, no, no. You sit there. I just wondered if you had anything to say.
SENATOR GLOVER: Mr. Chairman, since we had a similar situation this morning, was this not one that the staff or the office had in the question?
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Charlie had mentioned it to us.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Medical University, 6th district, non-medical, Margaret M. Addison and Charlie Appleby, Jr. Representative Lanny Littlejohn noted a motion to reconsider whereby we certified those two candidates.

SENATOR SHORT: Mr. Chairman, I would move to reconsider the action taken on the 2nd district, non-medical seat of the MUSC Board of Trustees earlier today.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: And your motion has been noted.
SENATOR GEISE: Second.

The following screening of candidates took place at the Blatt Building, Pendleton Street, Columbia, South Carolina, on the 28th day of February, 2002, before Sonya S. Keesee, Court Reporter and Notary Public in and for the State of South Carolina.

Representative Olin Phillips
Representative Lanny F. Littlejohn
Representative Becky Martin
Representative Jesse Hines
Senator Warren K. Giese
Senator Maggie W. Glover
Senator Thomas Alexander
Senator Linda Short
Sophia Floyd

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Let me call the meeting to order and introduce our Committee members. We have Representative Larry Littlejohn, Senator Warren Geise, and Senator Alexander and myself, Olin Phillips, and we're waiting on hopefully some more committee members to come in. We are going to start with looks like the first one here is Coastal Carolina, and Mr. Robert L. Rabon is unopposed. And Mr. Rabon, could you step down to the end there, sir.
ROBERT L. RABON, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Mr. Rabon, your business that you're engaged in would not have any conflict of interest with continuing to serve on this board?
MR. RABON: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you have any health ailments that might prevent you from serving in the full capacity, continued service on the Board?
MR. RABON: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Have you been elected or appointed any position in your community that would cause dual office holding?
MR. RABON: No, sir.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you, sir. We'll let you know when -- we are going to have the election some time in April, probably middle of April.
MR. RABON: All right, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: We can't hold it -- there's time period we have to -- it will be after April the 4th, but we will let you know, and we will hopefully let you know when you can start soliciting. You don't need any, but making your contacts some time in the next ten days.
MR. RABON: Okay. Thank you.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: We will let you know. Thank you, sir, and you may be dismissed if you'd like to leave. Okay. Thank you for coming. We'll go to Ms. Carolyn Short has asked to be excused until we have another screening. We've got one more screening to be done by virtue of a vacancy at Coastal Carolina, and we'll take the ones who couldn't be here at that time. So we'll go to South Carolina State University, Mr. Charles C. Lewis. Mr. Lewis is also unopposed.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. Sir, we will tell you the same thing we told a while ago. We will let you know when the election is coming by virtue of mail. Otherwise, and certainly being unopposed, you may make some contacts at the proper time, and we'll let you know when that is.
MR. LEWIS: Thank you, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Thank you, sir. You may be dismissed if you like. Okay. Our next candidate is from Winthrop University, an at-large seat, and I might add all seats at Winthrop are at-large. There are no congressional seats at Winthrop. We may want to look at that in the future where we designate some legislation that would require representatives all over the state for Winthrop College.
SENATOR GEISE: Mr. Chairman, I think we -- the Senate passed a bill with seven seats, as I recall, seven sections. But you folks don't have it yet.
MS. FLOYD: It's pending actually. It is, yeah. I don't know the status right now, but I know it hasn't -- I will keep you up to date on that.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: I'm not familiar with it. but anyway, as I say, you know, some of us -- Mr. Hadsock.
HUGH HADSOCK, being duly sworn, testifies as follows:
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Sir, have you been appointed or elected to any positions in your community since you knew you were coming on the board that would cause any conflict of interest, dual office holding or whatever?
MR. HADSOCK: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: How about the businesses that you represent or work for, would there be any conflict of interest with serving on Winthrop?
MR. HADSOCK: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Do you have any health ailments that this Committee needs to know about that would prevent you from serving at full capacity?
MR. HADSOCK: No, sir.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: A brief statement, sir.
MR. HADSOCK: Sure. To follow-up your lead-in where you were talking about breaking down the congressional districts, I was told that at my appointment, since I was running unopposed, I would automatically

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. Sir, we will let you know when the election time comes, and certainly you may want to make some contacts. We'll let you know when that can be done, but until then we want to thank you very much for being here. Thank you for your willingness to want to serve on Winthrop Board of Trustees, and you may feel free to go if you wish.
MR. HADSOCK: Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Committee.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Okay. Back to the old business.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Senator Short noted a motion to reconsider the application where Mr. Charlie Appleby made a motion to us that his opponent, Ms. Margaret Addison, did not file on time and asked us to

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. The motion to reconsider is passed. Now a motion to deny and open it back up is ...
SENATOR ALEXANDER: Mr. Chairman, based on the information that we had provided to us, then I would so make that motion that we not accept this application and that under Section 2-20-25 of the law that exists that that would be put into place.
SENATOR GEISE: When did we have to first move to reconsider the approval? If we reconsider the approval, then it puts us in the position to do exactly what you said.
SENATOR ALEXANDER: Then we'll take the first part of the motion first then.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Yes.
SENATOR GEISE: Move to reconsider the approval.
SENATOR ALEXANDER: Well, we did that. We just need to -- we made it to -- okay. Go ahead.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Yeah. We've already done -- Senator, we already made the motion to reconsider approval. We are now ...
SENATOR GEISE: If you move to -- but once you move to reconsider, then you have to ...
SENATOR ALEXANDER: Then we take action on that.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: One part to that, we would have to take action on Appleby's application and Margaret Addison, both applicants,

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. Thank you. Now, Mr. Littlejohn, you noted a motion earlier to reconsider whereby we did what we did earlier as we corrected -- to be consistent, do you ...
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: I don't remember making ...

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any opposed? None. It passes.
MS. FLOYD: Ten-day deadline.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: That's right. Ten-day deadline.
MS. FLOYD: 5:00.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Now -- I wish I had said something -- go ahead.
MS. FLOYD: Now, on the 2nd district ...
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Before we get back to that one, can I make one -- just a comment and see how y'all feel. Rather than having to go through the book, the SLED screening and all, do I hear a motion -- let me discuss it first. I would like to accept their previous filing records that they gave us which is in the folder now, the information that they gave us, and now with them, the only change that we would ask them to make would initial the change of date.
SENATOR GLOVER: So moved, Mr. Chairman. Just -- I think ...
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Just Appleby ...
SENATOR GLOVER: Appleby and Addison. I would amend the motion to make it specific on those two.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: They will initial the change of date that that was filed so they don't have to go to the Clerk of Court. We don't have to send all that to SLED again.

CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: The motion to reconsider on that particular Stalvey/Bingham seat failed, so that situation is closed.
SENATOR ALEXANDER: Unanimous, I think, so the record can reflect it, Mr. Chairman.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Yes. By virtue -- let's put in there by virtue of that law.
SENATOR ALEXANDER: By not qualifying under the stipulation.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: 20 -- what was it?
SENATOR ALEXANDER: 20-20-25.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Did not cover candidates qualifying. It only covers incumbents. Anything else? Gentlemen, thank y'all. We'll let you know in a couple of weeks, and we'll screen again.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Let me ask you this before we send this thing out, should we accept fax on the last day? I mean, do we accept fax up until the last day, and then it has to be letter only and ... because she says at 4:30 ...
REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN: Why do we accept faxes?
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: It's just a technical thing now that we've got into an age where ...
SENATOR GLOVER: Right. That's ...
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: We've just ...
REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN: But we could go by our entry journals that say you might have it faxed on that day, but it needs to be postmarked also on the same day you fax it, if you wait until the last day.
CHAIRMAN PHILLIPS: Any fax should come in that day that wasn't postmarked that day would not be accepted.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLEJOHN: Mr. Chairman, I would make a motion to -- that if Sophie doesn't have this to get a stamp, buy a stamp when we receive that thing in.
MS. FLOYD: Record the time. The time and day that you receive it.
SENATOR GLOVER: Is that our ethics law though? Our ethics law doesn't work that -- you can fax it, but your hard copy doesn't have to have that day's postmark on it.
REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN: Yeah, but that's what I mean. On the fifth day, if you fax it in on the fifth day, it has to be postmarked on the same day that you faxed it in. On the fifteenth date, it's supposed to be only ten days. You have five days in break, and then -- I mean, that's the way our ethics does, that you have to have it the same -- the last day for it to be faxed is also the date that should be on the ...
