Whereupon, the President announced that Mr. Julian B. Wright was duly elected for the term prescribed by law.

Rep. COOPER, on behalf of the Legislative Audit Council Nominating Committee, stated that the following candidates had been screened and found qualified: Mr. Richard S. Beltram and Mr. Dill Blackwell.

Rep. LANFORD withdrew Mr. Richard S. Beltram as follows:

"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow colleagues... On any given day and any given year, I would be more than proud to stand before you and nominate Rick Beltram for the Legislative Audit Council. Rick was contacted and he volunteered to serve and he thought there would be no opposition and he really thought that. Two weeks ago he found out that he did have opposition, a great individual, Representative Dill Blackwell, who served here, and served with many of us and did an outstanding job here. But, Mr. Beltram also, in 1987, moved into my district and opened up a manufacturing facility and now employs over 100 people. He was going to do this out of his dedication to the State of South Carolina, not because he felt that he needed to do this for anything of any personal gain. I talked to Mr. Beltram this morning and being someone who can audit books as Mr. Beltram has with his degrees, he also learned to count at a very early age and he realized what a diligent job the Greenville County delegation did on behalf of Mr. Dill Blackwell. So, he asked me to withdraw him from consideration and that Mr. Dill Blackwell be elected by acclamation."

On motion of Rep. COOPER, 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 Mr. Dill Blackwell was duly elected for the term prescribed by law.

The President announced that nominations were in order for a member of the Old Exchange Building Commission.

Senator Leventis nominated Mr. James M. Eaves as follows:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Joint Assembly... I rise today to place a name in nomination, the name of Jim Eaves. The Old Exchange Building Commission operated the Old Exchange Building down in Charleston and to history buffs and to all of us, it should be important. Mr. Sherman Smith, a gentleman from Sumter, served with distinction for many years and recently Mr. Smith passed away, so that created a vacancy. Mr. Eaves also lives in Sumter. He has been involved in matters historical for many years. He serves as a custodian of historical documents in Sumter. He helped found the Art Gallery in Sumter. To a great degree, he is very familiar with what takes place at the Old Exchange Building and the problems that they have. You recall that we no longer fund them and that is one of the problems that they have. But, he is a fine individual and he is interested in serving in this role that is important to our state's history and I would place his name in nomination."

On motion of Senator Leventis, 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 Mr. James M. Eaves was duly elected for the term prescribed by law.

The purposes of the Joint Assembly having been accomplished, the President announced that under the terms of the Concurrent Resolution the Joint Assembly would recede from business.

The Senate accordingly retired to its Chamber.

O God, Who speaks in quietness to the listening ear, cleanse from our minds any thoughts that color our outlook. Grant to us a vision of Your face and a knowledge of Your will. We would bring to You our inmost lives, cluttered and confused, where the good and the evil, the petty and the great, the wheat and the tares, are so closely entwined. May the nearness of Your presence inspire our every thought, word and action. Cause our lives to be untroubled as we stay our minds on You.

We pray in the Name of Him Who offers peace that surpasses all understanding. Amen.
