Whereas, the Honorable Marshall Burns Williams of Orangeburg has been a distinguished member of the Senate since 1953; and
Whereas, he is one of the State's outstanding leaders and statesmen of the modern era; and
Whereas, he served in the House of Representatives of this State from 1947-1952; and
Whereas, he was elected President Pro Tempore of the Senate on January 10, 1989, and has served continuously ever since in that office; and
Whereas, he is one of the most highly regarded lawyers ever to have been admitted to the Bar of this State and is known and deeply admired for his great intelligence, dedication, and service to humanity; and
Whereas, Marshall Williams' many contributions to the well-being of the State are greatly deserving of tribute and permanent recognition in a special manner. Now, therefore,
