Whereas, the purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association's Youth in Government program is to encourage our youth to develop enthusiasm and appreciation for government and community affairs; and

Whereas, more than one thousand high school students in the State participated in the program's Model Legislature in 1993. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly authorize the Greenville Young Men's Christian Association to use the Senate Chamber and the Chamber of the House of Representatives, subject to the renovation of the State House and the upgrading of such temporary facility as the General Assembly may commission,and to use such hearing rooms as may be available in the legislative office buildings, on Thursday, December 1, 1994, and Friday, December 2, 1994, to conduct a Youth in Government program.
