A SENATE RESOLUTION

CONGRATULATING SENATOR STROM THURMOND ON HIS ELECTION AS PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE UNITED STATES SENATE AND EXTENDING TO HIM BEST WISHES AS HE EMBARKS ON THIS NEW SERVICE.

Whereas, the members of the Senate were pleased to note that South Carolina's senior United States Senator, Strom Thurmond, has been elected President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate; and

Whereas, this office by tradition goes to the longest serving senator in the majority party in the Senate, an office which Senator Thurmond has assumed by virtue of the new Republican majority in the Senate; and

Whereas, his assuming this office is doubly memorable in that Senator Thurmond served as President Pro Tempore from 1981 through 1987, the last years in which Republicans held a majority in the United States Senate; and

Whereas, this office gives our senior senator an even larger stage on which to represent the citizens of our State in a career of public service unparalleled in recent history. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Senator Strom Thurmond on his election as President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate and extend to him best wishes as he embarks on this new service.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to The Honorable Strom Thurmond.
