The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

Beloved, St. Paul, writing to the Ephesians, gives us some backbone for these days (6:11-12):

"Put on the whole armor of God, so that

you may be able to stand against the wiles

of the devil. For our struggle is not

against enemies of blood and flesh, but

against the rulers, against the authorities,

against the cosmic powers of this present

darkness, against the spiritual forces of

evil..."
Let us pray.

Our Father, as we study the Book of Life, we see that in the arsenal of the Lord's warrior there is no armor provided for the back, which indicates that the soldier of the Lord is not intending to run from the battle but fully intends to stand and fight the daily fight of faith.

So, today, renew our quiver with arrows of spiritual insight lest anxiety eat away our stamina and we have no stomach for a real battle against the "cosmic powers of this present darkness."

Amen.

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.

Whereas, since his arrival in Columbia in 1984, General Solomon has been a tireless contributor to the midlands community. In addition to serving as the commanding general of Fort Jackson, General Solomon has served as the vice president of institutional advancement of Benedict College, as a campaign division director for the United Way of the Midlands, and as interim director of the Council on Child Abuse and Neglect; and

Whereas, General Solomon has also given selflessly of his time as a volunteer to many midlands organizations, among which are the Columbia Housing Authority, Richland Memorial Center for Cancer Treatment and Research, the United Negro College Fund, the Indian Waters Boy Scout

Whereas, before his arrival in Columbia as the commanding general of Fort Jackson, General Solomon served with distinction as an armor and public affairs officer in the United States Army, serving nearly thirty-six years on active duty. During the latter years of his service, General Solomon held positions of great responsibility, including chief of Army public affairs, deputy chief of staff of the United States Pacific Command, and deputy inspector general of the Army; and

Whereas, it is entirely fitting that an interchange be named in honor of General Solomon in light of his contributions to the nation, the State, and the local community. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, requests the Department of Transportation to name the I-77 Forest Drive Interchange in honor of Major General Robert Solomon and to place appropriate markers or signs on the highway reflecting this designation.
