Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter

The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.

Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:

Give us grateful hearts, O Lord, for work to do and for strength with which to do it. Keep us grateful for instruments of government which guide us, the rules that regulate our deliberations, and most of all for the deeper unchanging laws of Mt. Sinai and the proven principles of the Sermon on the Mount. Make us ever thankful for those who in earlier days have gone before us here with eloquent speech, statesmanlike skills and patriotic devotion to light up the way for our generation. And give us the wisdom to match in our age and in this place the achievements of our legislative forebears.

Amen.

STATEMENT BY REP. KLAPMAN

"Mr. Speaker and fellow members...I rise today to speak to you and to say a few words in memory and honor of Representative Bill Cork. He loved his family, he loved to have a good time, he loved to fish, he loved to duck hunt, he loved music and he just enjoyed very much playing his spoons. He loved politics, he loved to travel, he loved to play golf, he loved people. He loved his country, his state and his hometown. And if Bill Cork had a motto, it would have been, 'don't worry, be happy.' Bill Cork also had other things that meant very much to him. If you will allow me to express my opinions, he loved his Lord, he loved his church, he thanked the Lord for his many blessings. He was a man of conscious and commitment, and he was a man of compassion. He performed many acts of caring and doing for the less fortunate. He was a witness for his Lord. He cared deeply for his wife and children and he was devoted to them. He was a good friend and a good man. I would like to read a poem by Annie Johnson Flint entitled 'What God Has Promised.' 'God hath not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways, all our lives through. God hath not promised sun without rain, joy without sorrow, peace without pain. But, God hath promised strength for the day, rest for the labor, light for the way, grace for the trials, help from above, unfailing sympathy, undying love.' I have a statement here by an unknown author, that my page, Kempson, brought to my home at the time of my wife's death, and I would like to read it. 'I did not die, do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's rush, I am the swift up-lifting rush of quiet birds in circles flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.' Thank you."

JOINT ASSEMBLY

At 12:00 Noon the Senate appeared in the Hall of the House.

The President of the Senate called the Joint Assembly to order and announced that it had convened under the terms of a Concurrent Resolution adopted by both Houses.

JOINT ASSEMBLY
Election Of Officers

At twelve o'clock Noon the Senate appeared in the Hall of the House.

The President of the Senate called the Joint Assembly to order and announced that it had convened under the terms of a Concurrent Resolution, H.4124, adopted by both Houses.

The Reading Clerk of the House read the Concurrent Resolution:

H. 4124 -- Reps. J. Rogers, McEachin, Gentry and D. Martin: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO FIX TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1989, AT 12:00 NOON AS THE TIME FOR ELECTING A SUCCESSOR FOR THE FAMILY COURT JUDGE OF THE FIFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, SEAT 3, WHOSE TERM EXPIRES IN 1989.

ELECTION TO THE FAMILY COURT,
FIFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, SEAT 3

The President announced that nominations were in order to elect successors for the position of Judge, Family Court, Fifth Judicial Circuit, Seat 3.

Rep. SHEHEEN nominated Mr. William R. Byars, Jr. of Camden, S.C. as follows:

"I rise to nominate someone for the Fifth Circuit Family Court a lot, which is allocated to Kershaw County, Bill Byars. Most of you have grown to know Bill over the last month. He and his wife, Camille, have spent approximately the last month here with you, in the lobby, so that you would have a chance to get to know Bill. I'm going to tell you a few things about him today that you don't know and didn't learn. Mr. Wilder, he grew up in Barnwell. And we didn't hold that against him when he came to Camden, we applauded that, because you did a good job. I would normally tell you that I regret that he went to Louisiana, to LSU to go to school, before he went to Law School, but it was there that he found his wife, Camille, and that made him a better person, if you want to know the truth. He's got three fine sons who have joined him in the balcony today with his wife, Camille, and some other members of his family. He came to Camden to practice law and the first time I met him was in an interview, we were interviewing perspective lawyers for the Savage Law Firm. That was the first time I ever knew him, and I've spent those years since 1972 getting to know him and practicing law with him on a daily basis. But, even more important, he has woven himself into the fabric of our community by devoting his time to his family and his church and to public endeavors. I have frequently said to each of you and other of my acquaintances in the political arena that the toughest job in the world is to be a member of a local school board, because every time you make a decision about somebody's children, they either like it or don't like it. If they like it, somebody else doesn't like it. Bill has served on the Kershaw County School Board. He has served as Chairman of the Kershaw County School Board and when he takes office as a Family Court Judge, he will be required to vacate that and I dare say, the Kershaw County School Board will be worse off for it. So, our community has presented to you today, a candidate who is experienced in his church and his family, has shown a devotion to his community, has participated in public affairs, knows children, knows their problems, has experienced them first hand, and when we present that candidate to you from Camden today, I regret to say that he will have to spend a great deal of time away from us, because we don't have a lot of Family Court matters which will hold him in Camden. He'll spend some of his time there, but we are not a large enough community to occupy a judge full time. Columbia will benefit from his expertise on the bench, his devotion to the law as a student, but more important, his compassion for people and their problems and his understanding for children. I'm proud to have known him for 17 years, to practice law with him for 17 years and I'm proud to place his name in nomination today for Family Court Judge in the Fifth Judicial Circuit."

Reps. WILDER, BARFIELD, BAXLEY and KLAPMAN seconded the nomination of Mr. Byars.

On motion of Senator Pope the names of Mr. Rolly Warren Jacobs and Mr. Michael E. Stegner were withdrawn from consideration.

On motion of Senator Pope, the nominations were closed and, with unanimous consent, the vote was taken by acclamation, resulting in the election of the nominee.

Whereupon, the President announced that the Honorable William R. Byars, Jr. was duly elected to the position of Judge, Family Court, Fifth Judicial Circuit, Seat 93, for the term prescribed by law.

The Reading Clerk of the Senate read the Concurrent Resolution, S. 783, which was adopted by both Houses.

S. 783 -- Senator Holland: A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION TO FIX 12:00 NOON ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 1989, AS THE TIME FOR ELECTING MEMBERS TO THE STATE BOARD OF SOCIAL SERVICES FROM THE SECOND, FOURTH, AND SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS AND THE AT-LARGE SEAT.

ELECTION TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES BOARD
Second Congressional District

The President announced that nominations were in order to elect a successor for a position on the Department of Social Services Board from the Second Congressional District.

Rep. WRIGHT nominated Mr. Gerald W. Beckham of Columbia, S.C. as follows:

"Members of the House and Senate...I rise before you today to place in nomination a gentlemen who has been quite active in his community over the years and someone who knows service delivery on a large scale and would do the Department of Social Services justice as a member of the DSS Board. I've communicated with members of the House on three separate occasions through letters encouraging your support for Gerald Beckham to the DSS Board, giving you his qualifications and done nothing but speak very positively in this campaign, contrary to some of the memos that have been circulated, one as late as today. We have not, in any way, said anything negative about anybody in this race. We tried to be very factual and the members of the House who have been campaigning for Mr. Beckham have been likewise in their support. So, I will place in nomination, at this time, Gerald Beckham, for the Second Congressional DSS Board seat."

Rep. LANFORD seconded the nomination of Mr. Beckham.

Rep. FELDER nominated Mr. Oscar P. Butler, Jr. of Orangeburg, S.C. as follows:

"Mr. Speaker, distinguished colleagues of the Senate and House...It is always a distinct honor and privilege to address the Joint Assembly. So much history and so much change and tradition have occurred in this great Hall of the State House. And today, I'm going to ask you to not change, but to maintain tradition and history, a positive history on the Board of the Department of Social Services. I will not speak negatively about Mr. Beckham, nor will I say anything bad about him. I'm here today to talk positively about my friend, Dr. Oscar Butler. Oscar P. Butler, Jr. has served for two terms as a representative of the Second Congressional District and this would be his third term. A lot of things have been said by way of innuendo or off the record but, let me tell you about him, because I know him. He lives, not only in my district as a constituent, but he is a friend. I've been knowing Oscar Butler since 1971, when I came two years out of law school, about 26 years old, and I thought I was God's gift to law and everything else and I was going to solve all of the problems and I met a very good friend and we have walked a long road together and I learned a lot from him and, hopefully, we both have mellowed a little bit and gotten a little wiser and have learned from life's experiences. But, Oscar is an outstanding person. He is a captain in the U.S. Naval Reserve. He recruits for the Navy. He is a Naval Liaison Officer on South Carolina State College Campus. He has served that great institution for thirty-five years. Thirty-five years of his life has been spent carrying and bearing the emblem of State College with pride and love. He is their Vice President of Student Affairs. He is a family man, he is a church person, he believes and walks closely with his Lord. He is a good man. Let me briefly tell you about Oscar Butler, that you may not know, that I know. When people look in their lives and look at life in general, they can be anything from a cynic to an optimist. MacBeth says, in his scenario about life, that life is but a tale, to an old bound idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing. A lot of our lives are lived like that, full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. The gentlemen I nominate to you today, has been an activist, a person who has created change for the positive good, who has had the integrity and foresight to stand up against things that many would have failed to stand up against. He is also a compassionate person that through this change has not tried to be disruptive, but to be constructive, not to destroy, but to build. So, I would say that MacBeth's soliloquy about life doesn't fit here, but perhaps George Bernard Shaw, though, saw something in some of us, like Oscar Butler, when he said that some people look at life as it should be and do nothing about it, but they look at things that ought to be and the courage to make a difference. He's done that in his life, not only for social change, but for the people who have had no spokesman, for people who have had no one to stand up for them, for people that needed his help. I know at a camp on the river down in Calhoun County, quietly he came to me and over the years we've watched that camp grow for children that would not have had a chance and many other projects, that maybe don't make the headlines, maybe he doesn't get an award for, maybe doesn't get a pat on the back for, but it does help the individual life. Longfellow said about service to mankind, that they who serve best only stand and wait. And that means, certainly, that a person doesn't necessarily have to get across the finish line first, he doesn't have to get the trophy, but if he has the guts and the integrity and the patience to wait, and put service above self, and perhaps that is the purest kind of service, the service that we, who profess Christianity, feel the master would have wanted. Finally, there is a book called the 'Sojourner' and it is a book that was written about a lady that makes a sojourn across America with her family. She meets all kinds of trials and tribulations and at the end of the book is a poem that is entitled 'The Sojourner' and in that poem, it says that you can't hold a strong position without strong opposition. Pete Butler knows about that because he has held a strong position and maybe there is strong opposition, but without strength, you cannot have integrity. The second line goes you can't seem right to any if you don't seem wrong to many. You're not doing anything if everybody thinks you're great and wonderful and you haven't affected any type of change. Pete Butler has seen this in his life certainly and he has done what he felt to be right. The closing phrase of the poem says that you must stub your toe against reality, bigotry, and prejudice if you are to obtain any goal in life worth having. And that is the end of the poem. I ask you today to recognize the fact that this man has had the courage to stand up against all of these things to make his sojourn. I think he has miles to go, in the words of Frost, before he sleeps and he has a commitment and a promise to keep. I ask you to let him keep that promise, maintain that commitment. Don't cut him off in mainstream for some reason that is external to the process. If you look at his record and look at his accomplishments, not only in life, but at the school, you will say with me, keep those promises, continue on your journey, until you reach the proper ending. Therefore, Mr. President, it is with great honor and privilege that I nominate my dear friend, Oscar P. Butler, Jr. to retain his seat on the Second Congressional District Board for DSS."

Senators Mitchell, Lourie, McGill, Matthews and Drummond seconded the nomination of Mr. Butler.

Reps. BLANDING, WHITE, J. BAILEY, MARVIN, WASHINGTON, J. BROWN, BENNETT, K. BAILEY, D. WILLIAMS, T. ROGERS, SNOW and HOLT seconded the nomination of Mr. Butler.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Senator Thomas made a Parliamentary Inquiry as to whether or not the President had researched the decision rendered prior to the recess concerning what constituted a majority.

The President stated that there were elections in which votes were proportionately rounded up and elections reflecting a majority plus one; however, the precedent is "a majority being one-half of the total number of votes cast plus one" and cited a previous Ruling of the President of March 14, 1984 which states in pertinent part:

The President cited the proceedings of the election referred to in the Journal of August 16, 1979, wherein that election was carried out by determining the total number of House members and Senators voting, dividing by two and adding one, and he overruled the Point of Order.

The Joint Assembly proceeded to the second ballot.

POINT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Rep. FOSTER rose to a point of personal privilege.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Rep. M.D. BURRISS made a Parliamentary Inquiry as to why the 76-75 vote result of the first ballot did not constitute a majority vote.

The President stated that a majority vote was calculated by taking one-half of the total votes cast, in this instance, 75.5, and adding one, resulting in 76.5, which was rounded up to 77 votes. Consequently, 76 did not constitute a majority.

Rep. KOHN moved to appeal the Ruling of the PRESIDENT.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. FELDER raised a Point of Order that the appeal comes too late inasmuch as there was intervening debate.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

Senator Bryan made a Parliamentary Inquiry as to whether or not the motion before the body was the motion by Senator McLeod to reschedule the second balloting until Wednesday, June 21, 1989, at 12:00 Noon.

The President stated that that was correct.

On motion of Senator McLeod, with unanimous consent, the motion was withdrawn.

POINT OF ORDER

Rep. FELDER raised a Point of Order that to make a motion to adopt Mason's would require unanimous consent and any motion to change the rules would therefore be out of order.

Rep. LIMEHOUSE spoke on the Point of Order and stated that the Joint Assembly is a majority of both Houses and until rules were adopted to the contrary, the Joint Assembly could adopt rules under which to conduct the Joint Assembly.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
