A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, in an hour of some stress, St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians (II Cor., v. 4:8) (NIV):

"We are hard pressed on every side,

But not crushed;

Perplexed, but not driven to despair..."
Let us pray.

O Spirit of the Living God, we look to You as our HELPER and LEADER who has heard our prayers in good times and in difficult days.

We are grateful that You have preserved to us the freedom and the responsibility of self government, even though the system, at times, is difficult.

As a new week dawns, we pray for physical strength, as well as mental and spiritual poise, that the meandering ways of democracy may not lead us out into chaotic byways, but that we may, together, arrive at unity of purpose and unity of plan; that the resources of our State may be pledged at the point of greatest good for all our people.

So, lift up our hearts, for Jesus sake.

Amen.

Jt. Legislative Screening Committee to Review Candidates

DATE: May 21, 1996

In compliance with the provisions of Act No. 119, 1975 S.C. Acts 122, it is respectfully requested that the following information be printed in the Journals of the Senate and the House.

The Screening Process

Pursuant to Act No. 119 of 1975 and Act. No. 181 of 1993, this Committee has considered the qualifications of candidates seeking election to the positions of the South Carolina Consumer Affairs Commission.

The Committee's report includes the Transcript of the Proceedings before the Screening Committee on May 15, 1996. The Transcript does not include all exhibits offered by candidates or witnesses at the hearing because of the length of some exhibits. Exhibits which are not reproduced as a part of the Transcript may be viewed in the Office of the Banking and Insurance Committee (Room 203 of the Gressette Building), since these exhibits were reviewed and considered by the Committee in making its findings.

THE CHAIRMAN: Before us we have two candidates. For Seat
#2, we have Lonnie Randolph, Jr. and for Seat #4, we
have Barbara B. League, and they both are incumbents.
As a formality, I would like to take one at the time.
Do we have any other nominations for Seat #2 at this
time?
MR. BELL: Since this is a public hearing, we should leave
the door open. We have not had anyone that has said
they wanted to ask questions.
THE CHAIRMAN: How are you Ms. League?
MS. LEAGUE: I'm fine, thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Ms. League, I'm George Bailey and I've been
asked to chair the Committee for screening. I only
have one question.
Q: Attendance wise, what is your attendance record at the
meetings?
A: We have had forty-four meetings since I was elected in
