The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the ACTING PRESIDENT, Senator BAUER. (This is a special Statewide Session day established under the provisions of Senate Rule 1B. Members not having scheduled committee or subcommittee meetings may be in their home districts without effect on their session attendance record.)

The following remarks by Senator SETZLER were ordered to be printed in the Journal of August 17, 2001:

Mr. PRESIDENT, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'll be very brief.

Many of you probably do not know that Congressman SPENCE and I were kin and were very proud of the relationship that we had. I think what's been said here this morning about him is very important and that is that he never changed when he was elected to public office. He was "FLOYD" when he got elected and he was "FLOYD" when he passed from this earth yesterday. And I think we owe him gratitude and thanks for what he has done for our constituents because each one of us has been enriched by his being involved in our lives and having touched our lives and the lives of the people that we represent, particularly the people of Lexington County that I represent.

But I think we also ought to say a "thank you" to his family - to his four sons and to his wife - for sharing him with us and for his public service, because public service is a sacrifice to the families of those of us who serve. So, I hope that the Senate will also not only send their sympathy to the family and their expressions of love and gratitude, but also let them know that we thank them for sharing him with us.

Thank you.
