Pursuant to Article III, Section 9, of the Constitution, the members of the House of Representatives from the several districts of this State assembled in the Hall of the House of Representatives in the Capitol, in the City of Columbia, this day, and were called to order at 12:00 Noon by Sandra K. McKinney, the Clerk of the Late House of Representatives.

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

We come with confidence into Your presence, Lord, knowing of a certainty that You are near enough to hear us when we pray and to answer us when we call. We acknowledge our need of Your supporting help for our tasks are many and our opportunities great. Give wisdom a-plenty for our minds, inspiration in abundance for our hearts, courage unlimited for our challenges. Grant us faith enough to be unafraid, trust sufficient to be unflattering. Keep our eyes focused on such high ideals as to make us worthy of the unique places of leadership we occupy and adequate for the work that lies ahead.

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.

Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by Rep. ROBINSON.

RE: Appointment to Workers' Compensation Commission

Dear Bob:

The purpose of this letter is to formally resign from the S.C. House of Representatives. As you are aware, I have been appointed to the S.C. Workers' Compensation Commission effective July 1, 1994.

I have greatly enjoyed my eight years of service and view with more than a little regret the fact that I will no longer be there with you to work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government in our State.

I have a great deal of respect for the institution and I appreciate the opportunity of serving with you not only as a fair an effective speaker of the House, but also as a fellow member of the Kershaw delegation and a friend.

I have learned a great deal and I believe my service and the knowledge I've gained will be invaluable to me as I begin serving the citizens of our State in my new capacity. I am particularly glad to have served while you were speaker and Carroll Campbell was Governor. That combination of leadership and skill will be difficult to replace.

If there is any thing I can do to assist you or other members of the House or its Staff (what a great job they do!) either professionally or personally, please call upon me. I'm leaving some of the finest people and best friends I've ever met and I won't forget any of you or the many kindnesses and courtesies show during my years of elected service.

Very truly yours,
ROLAND S. CORNING
