Whereas, Mr. Johnson became deputy director of the South Carolina Library in 1979, and has served in his present position as director for over fifteen years; and

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that we commend Jim Johnson for the outstanding job he has done as Director of the State Library, let him know how grateful we are for the progress he has made on behalf on our State, and wish him well in his retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
