EXPRESSING THE GRATITUDE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, ON BEHALF OF THE CITIZENS OF THE PALMETTO STATE, FOR THE TEN YEARS OF DEVOTED AND OUTSTANDING SERVICE OF FRED R. SHEHEEN AS COMMISSIONER OF THE STATE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION.

Whereas, for ten years, Fred R. Sheheen has served as Commissioner of the State Commission on Higher Education; and

Whereas, he brought frankness, talent, devotion, and vision to his duties at the Commission and won the respect and admiration of countless South Carolinians for his efforts and hard work; and

Whereas, he is originally from Camden and graduated with honors from Duke University in the late 1950s; he then worked as a reporter for The Charlotte Observer and subsequently as an aide to Governor Donald Russell in the 1960s; he was a candidate for the United States House of Representatives in 1968 and was appointed a member of the State Commission on Higher Education in the early 1970s; he left the Commission five years later but returned as a member once again in the 1980s and became the Commissioner on May 1, 1987; and

Whereas, he will become Interim Director of the University of South Carolina's Center for Citizenship in the Institute of Public Affairs on July 1, 1997; and

Whereas, Fred Sheheen has been a dedicated public servant in his position as Commissioner; he is the product of a prominent and civic-minded South Carolina family that values public service and whose members have always given willingly of their time, talent, abilities, and resources for the well-being of the general public; and

Whereas, we pause to take special note of Fred Sheheen's devotion to duty and, on behalf of a grateful State, thank him for his service. Now, therefore,
