The President announced that nominations were in order for a Public Service Commission member for the At-Large Congressional District.

Senator Holland, on behalf of the Committee to Review Candidates for the Public Service Commission, stated that the following candidates had been screened and found qualified: Mr. George V. Atkison, Mr. Robert Walter Hundley, Mr. Clayton Baker Ingram and Mr. Rudolph Mitchell.

Senator Holland, on behalf of the Committee to Review Candidates for the Public Service Commission, stated that the following candidate had withdrawn: Mr. Robert Walter Hundley.

Rep. BYRD nominated Clayton Baker Ingram as follows:

"Thank you, Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, ladies and gentlemen of the Joint Assembly and guests...It is an honor for me to stand before you at this time and to place a name in nomination, one whom I have met to be an honest, fair, dedicated individual and one who is very knowledgeable and becoming more and more familiar of the things that would be presented before the industry's for which he could give a just and honest vote. This person is none other than Mr. Clayton Baker Ingram. He has worked in a dedicated way throughout the time that I have known him. It is for this cause that I am placing his name in nomination, Clayton Ingram."

Senator Lander nominated Rudolph Mitchell as follows:

"Members of the General Assembly, ladies and gentlemen...It is indeed an honor that I have the pleasure of seconding the nomination of Mr. Rudolph Mitchell for the at-large member of the Public Service Commission. Commissioner Mitchell has served well and has served for 21 years on the PSC. His integrity is impeccable. He is honest. He is God fearing. He is a family man and those that know Rudolph Mitchell, will concur in that assessment. Rudolph Mitchell has served his State, his county of Saluda and the House of Representatives for six terms uncontested. As I indicated, he has been a member of the PSC for 21 years without, to my knowledge, one bit of scandal, but only the highest praise for him. Even handiness on his service on the Commission, not only to the consumer but to the businesses and industries that they look after. I want to mention this and it is going to take just a moment and not long, Rudolph Mitchell is a family man. He was married to a lovely lady for 44 years, the late Lenoria Mitchell. They were located and stayed in Saluda County his entire career. They raised two outstanding children, both of whom are dedicated to public service, one who is the Probate

Judge in Saluda County and our own colleague, Molly Mitchell Spearman. As I indicated, a family man, a church man, a community servant, a servant of the State of South Carolina for many years, Rudolph Mitchell has served with great distinction and on behalf of the Saluda County Delegation, Mr. President, it gives me an honor to recommend Rudolph Mitchell for continued service on the PSC for the people of South Carolina."

Rep. G. BROWN, on behalf of the Lee County Delegation, seconded the nomination of Rudolph Mitchell.

On motion of Senator Holland, nominations were closed.
