A HOUSE RESOLUTION

EXPRESSING THE GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO THEIR ASSISTANT ACT AND GENERAL CLERK, MARJORIE WATERS LEITER, FOR HER EXEMPLARY PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AND EXTEND VERY BEST WISHES FOR A LONG AND FULFILLING RETIREMENT.

Whereas, with mixed emotions, the members of the House of Representatives have learned that Marjorie W. Leiter of Richland County is retiring on June 30, 1999; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives has been blessed over the years with a staff composed of very able and talented people, and Marjorie Leiter is clearly one of the most capable individuals who has served the General Assembly; and

Whereas, when Marjorie Leiter was named Assistant Act and General Clerk for the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1990, she had an extensive record of public service; and

Whereas, she was employed at the South Carolina Tax Commission from 1967 until 1979; and

Whereas, Marjorie Waters Leiter was born and raised in Blackshear, Georgia, and graduated from Blackshear High School; and

Whereas, Marjorie continued her studies at the University of Georgia and following her graduation in 1956, she married Howard T. Leiter, also a native of Georgia, on April 16, 1957; and

Whereas, Marjorie and Howard live in Spring Valley and throughout their home is a glow of warmth reflected by their love of antiques. They also share a passion for gardening and their yard is spectacular yearround; and

Whereas, we are told that Marjorie loves to play bridge and also finds time for golf and tennis; and

Whereas, Marjorie Leiter has understood the words “duty” and “loyalty” in their larger context and in their nobler adjuration – to listen quietly, to counsel wisely, and to keep confidences; and

Whereas, it is with some sadness that we witness our friend bringing to a close an extraordinary career in public service, a career that has spanned many years, that has witnessed much change, and that has generated an example for others to follow; and

Whereas, legislators and staff alike will miss Marjorie Leiter and her standards of excellence, thoroughness, and efficiency; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives would like to offer to this truly gracious and lovely lady their sincere thanks for her contributions to the House of Representatives, the General Assembly, and the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express gratitude and appreciation to their Assistant Act and General Clerk, Marjorie Waters Leiter, for her exemplary public service to the South Carolina General Assembly on the occasion of her retirement and extend very best wishes for a long and fulfilling retirement.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Marjorie Leiter.
