The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.

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

Almighty God, Who has created us in Your own image and called us to walk in Your way, we come not asking for tasks more suited to our strength but for strength that would make us equal to our tasks. As we approach Your throne of grace, we are haunted by memories of duties neglected, of deeds of kindness left unperformed and of lofty impulses unheeded. Give us now that peace comes in the assurance of Your pardon. May we never shun or shirk any responsibility or fall below the measure of the manhood or womanhood of those, who in days gone, feared life so little because they feared God so much.

Make of us vehicles of Your gracious and Fatherly will. Amen.

Dear Rep. Quinn:

On behalf of Governor David M. Beasley and the South Carolina Council on the Holocaust, I extend an invitation to the S.C. House members to attend a special state civic ceremony, The Days of Remembrance of the Holocaust on April 27, 1995, at 12:30 P.M.

The Days of Remembrance of the Holocaust is a commemoration of the six million people who perished in European concentration camps during World War II. This year's event is special because it marks the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps.

We would like very much for our state's leaders to join us in commemorating this liberation, remembering those who perished in the camps, and honoring those who sacrificed their lives in the liberation effort.

I would greatly appreciate your including this invitation on the House Calendar. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to seeing you at the ceremony.

Yours truly,
Bill H. Stern
