Amend title to conform.

Senator WILSON explained the amendment.

Senator STILWELL argued contra to the adoption of the amendment.

Senator STILWELL moved to lay the amendment on the table.

The amendment was laid on the table.

I voted "no" on the tabling motion of my amendment which resurrected a reapportionment plan known as Governor Campbell's Plan initially introduced in 1991.

This plan is also known as the Voting Rights Compliance Plan in that twelve minority districts are created. It proves there can be more reasonable districts created than the plan passed by the Judiciary Committee that may create eleven minority districts but in fact creates at most nine.

The Campbell Plan is similar to other plans previously submitted from the Republican Party and the NAACP. Those plans create even thirteen or fourteen minority districts.

Whatever the case, I believe the current committee-amended plan dilutes minority voting strength and sufficient electable districts are not created. The sole reason for this is to protect white incumbents. I have been working since 1971 with the NAACP and the Republican Party for fair reapportionment and I hope the current plan is changed for a more equitable number of minority seats.

Senator GIESE desired to be recorded as voting against the motion to table the amendment.

Debate was interrupted by recess.

At 12:35 P.M., on motion of Senator MOORE, the Senate receded from business until 3:00 P.M.

The Senate reassembled at 3:08 P.M. and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

Senator MOORE made the point that a quorum was not present. It was ascertained that a quorum was not present.

At 3:09 P.M., on motion of Senator MOORE, the Senate receded from business subject to the Call of the Chair.

At 3:35 P.M., a quorum being present, the Senate resumed.

THE SENATE PROCEEDED TO THE SENATE REAPPORTIONMENT BILL.

S. 9 -- Senators Holland, Saleeby, McConnell, Moore, Matthews, Stilwell, Courtney, Jackson, Rose and Giese: A BILL TO ADOPT THE UNITED STATES CENSUS OF 1990 AS THE TRUE AND CORRECT ENUMERATION OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND OF THE SEVERAL COUNTIES, MUNICIPALITIES, AND OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THIS STATE; TO AMEND TITLE 2, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, BY ADDING SECTION 2-1-65, SO AS TO ESTABLISH ELECTION DISTRICTS FROM WHICH MEMBERS OF THE SENATE ARE ELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNITED STATES CENSUS OF 1990 COMMENCING WITH THE 1996 GENERAL ELECTION, TO DESIGNATE THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE OF THE SENATE AS THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIAL OF THE SUBMITTING AUTHORITY TO MAKE THE REQUIRED
