Whereas, the South Carolina FFA Organization and the agricultural education programs in South Carolina are tremendously successful and extremely valuable in improving the quality of life for South Carolina. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly hereby recognize and commend South Carolina FFA members, their advisors, school administrators, parents, and all who support these outstanding students of agricultural education on the occasion of National FFA Week, February 21-28, 2004.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the appropriate South Carolina FFA officials.
