Whereas, Eugene C. Griffith was elected to the South Carolina Senate in 1966, and served with distinction for two years from 1967 to 1968, representing Newberry, Saluda, and Lexington Counties; and

Whereas, Eugene Griffith graduated in 1957 from the University of South Carolina, and served in the U.S. Navy from 1957 to 1960 in Morocco and on the U.S.S. Charles R. Ware as a Lieutenant; and

Whereas, Eugene Griffith, a 1962 graduate of the University of South Carolina Law School, served in the Senate as a member of the Judiciary Committee, and in Newberry as a member of the Newberry Jaycees, the Lions Club, and Central Methodist Church; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to acknowledge Senator Griffith's leadership by naming the Interstate Highway 26/South Carolina Highway 202 Interchange the "Senator Eugene Griffith Interchange". Now, therefore,

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

That members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation name the Interstate Highway 26/South Carolina Highway 202 Interchange in Newberry County as the "Senator Eugene Griffith Interchange" and erect appropriate markers or signs reflecting this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
