A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO AUTHORIZE THE COMMISSIONING OF A PORTRAIT OF THE HONORABLE ERNEST FREDERICK "FRITZ" HOLLINGS OF CHARLESTON TO BE PLACED IN THE SENATE CHAMBER AS A TRIBUTE TO THIS GREAT SOUTH CAROLINIAN AND DISTINGUISHED STATESMAN.

Whereas, the Honorable Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings of Charleston has been serving the people of South Carolina since 1949; and

Whereas, Fritz Hollings is one of the state's outstanding leaders and statesmen of the modern era; and

Whereas, Senator Hollings has served in the South Carolina House of Representatives, as President of the South Carolina Senate, as Lieutenant Governor, as Governor, and as United States Senator; and

Whereas, he presided over the South Carolina Senate from 1955 through 1959 - maintaining order and discipline during some tumultuous budget times; and

Whereas, under his leadership as Governor, for the first time since 1895 South Carolina had a balanced budget; and

Whereas, Fritz Hollings is known as the "Father of Technical Education" in this State - establishing a system which enabled South Carolinians who grew up on farms and in mill towns to learn marketable vocational skills for the first time; and

Whereas, after 38 years of service in the United States Senate, Senator Hollings will retire from elected office but will never retire from working for the people of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Fritz Hollings' innumerable contributions to our State are greatly deserving of tribute and permanent recognition in a special manner in the hallowed halls of the Senate Chamber. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the Senate authorizes the commissioning of a portrait of the Honorable Ernest Frederick "Fritz" Hollings of Charleston to be placed in the Senate Chamber as a tribute to this great South Carolinian and distinguished statesman.

Be it further resolved that a committee of seven members of the Senate appointed by the Chairman of the Senate Operations and Management Committee shall serve as a Portrait Committee. The committee shall consist of three members from the Senate Operations and Management Committee and four members from the Senate at large. The Chairman of the Senate Operations and Management Committee shall serve as chairman of the Portrait Committee. The committee shall handle the arrangements and details of the hanging of a portrait including, but not limited to, the location for the portrait and an appropriate ceremony to commemorate the unveiling and dedication of the portrait.

Be it further resolved that the Clerk of the Senate shall provide such assistance and services as the committee shall direct.
