"Thank you Mr. President... I have a letter from James B. Paslay to read to the ladies and gentlemen of the House. `It has been a great pleasure to offer as a candidate for circuit and family court judgeships for the seventh judicial circuit. You have been most gracious in considering me for these positions. It was my belief and the belief of many people in Spartanburg and Cherokee counties that I am uniquely qualified for either of these judgeships. This was because of my more than thirty-five years of legal experience as a trial lawyer and judge. It was because of the encouragement of countless citizens, fellow judges and community leaders that I became a candidate. Fortunately, both the Bar Qualification Committee and the Joint Legislative Judicial Screening Committee found me to be qualified to serve as a judge in both courts. I will be forever grateful for these opinions. I am particularly humbled that the overwhelming majority of members of the legal community respect me for my legal skills, impartiality, temperament and promptness and industry, according to the Bar Report. It appears that I will not be successful in being elected to either judgeship. Several polls taken indicate that I will not receive enough votes. The field of candidates in these races has been outstanding and the seventh circuit will be served well by the winners of

Rep. LANFORD made the following remarks about Mr. James F. Fraley, Jr.:

"Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, colleagues, ladies and gentlemen... Mr. Jim Fraley was another candidate in this race. He was here and he asked me to extend to you, and thank you, for the courtesies that you have shown him during his time of being here and meeting all of you. He realized early on that this was a five person race and only one person could win, so he withdrew last week, but he did tell me to tell you that he would see you again. Thank you."

Senator Russell withdrew Mr. R. Keith Kelly as follows:

"Ladies and gentlemen... this morning we were advised by R. Keith Kelly, also a candidate in this race, that he would, well, let me go back real quickly and I am not going to give you a big thing. Mr. Kelly was a tank commander when he was in the military and he was telling me about that and counting those shells when they were on maneuvers down there at Ft. Hood. He said that it was real important with the superiors that he count those shells right when they shot them and I think he was trying to say, by analogy, to say that he is also a good counter in this race. He did want to extend to you for his very warm reception that he received down here, his gratitude. He said it was a very learning experience and hopefully one day, he might be back. But, thank you."

On motion of Senator McConnell, nominations were closed.
