To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4247) to request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of Interstate Highway 26 and United States Highway 17 in Charleston County, etc., respectfully

W. GREG RYBERG for Committee.

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26 AND UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 17 IN CHARLESTON COUNTY THE "LUCILLE S. WHIPPER INTERCHANGE" AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERCHANGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "LUCILLE S. WHIPPER INTERCHANGE".

Whereas, the Honorable Lucille Simmons Whipper served with distinction as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from Charleston County from 1986-1996; and

Whereas, former Representative Whipper, a retired college administrator, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, earned an A.B. degree from Talladega College in Talladega, Alabama, in 1948, and a M.A. degree from the University of Chicago in 1955; and

Whereas, during her distinguished career in the South Carolina House of Representatives, Representative Whipper served as Chairman of the Subcommittee on Social Services and Mental Health; Chairman of the Subcommittee on Banking and Consumer Affairs; Second Vice Chairman of the Rules Committee; and a member of the Labor, Commerce and Industry Committee; and

Whereas, she has held many leadership roles in her community where she is highly respected and admired; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper that the interchange located at the intersection of Interstate Highway 26 and United States Highway 17 in Charleston County be named the "Lucille S. Whipper Interchange". Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of Interstate Highway 26 and United States Highway 17 in Charleston County the "Lucille S. Whipper Interchange" and to erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words "Lucille S. Whipper Interchange".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Honorable Lucille S. Whipper and the Department of Transportation.
