A HOUSE RESOLUTION HONORING REPRESENTATIVE ROBERT C. HUNTER, NEWLY ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF THE SOUTHERN LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE; JOHN YOUNG, RECIPIENT OF THE SAM CARTER AWARD; THE HOUSE HOST COMMITTEE OF THE SOUTHERN LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE, AND LEGISLATIVE STAFF FOR THEIR WORK IN MAKING THE 1990 SOUTHERN LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS.
Whereas, the Southern Legislative Conference is an annual event that provides an important regional forum for legislators and legislative staff from 15 southern states to consider common problems and issues, to exchange ideas and information, and to enjoy the company and hospitality of fellow Southerners, a tradition as old as the South itself; and 
Whereas, the City of Asheville and County of Buncombe extended every courtesy to those attending the 1990 Southern Legislative Conference and graciously welcomed them to our State; and
Whereas, the members of the House Host Committee, Representative Jack Hunt, Co-chair, and Representatives N. Jim Crawford, Julia C. Howard, Robert C. Hunter, Howard Hunter, Jr., and Marty Kimsey did an outstanding job of coordinating seminars that addressed a wide range of issues and planning social events and recreational activities that showcased some of the State's most splendid and beautiful cultural and natural resources; and
Whereas, Representative Robert C. Hunter is the newly elected Chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference, a distinguished office that signifies long hours of service, generous contributions of time and talent, the high esteem with which he is regarded by his peers, and an honor that reflects proudly not only on Representative Hunter but also on the House in which he serves and the State that he represents; and
Whereas, John H. Young, III, who has served the General Assembly as a Human Resources Analyst in the General Research Division since 1975 and whose professional expertise in the public health area, personal integrity, and willingness to help are respected by legislators and staff, is the first recipient of the Southern Legislative Conference's Sam Carter Award for demonstrated excellence and dedication to legislative service; and
Whereas, because the splendid success of the Southern Legislative Conference was possible only because of the efforts and hard work of many:  George Hall, Legislative Administrative Officer, and Beverly Adams, Administrative Assistant, who spent countless hours arranging and rearranging conference plans and activities; the legislative staff, who cheerfully and ably tended to the work that is essential to the success of the conference; and those in the private sector, who were generous in their support of this legislative effort; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives wishes to thank its own members who attended the Southern Legislative Conference for their fine representation of North Carolina and the warmth with which they welcomed their neighbors and guests to the Old North State;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
Section 1.  The House of Representatives extends its congratulations to Representative Robert C. Hunter in his new office as Chairman of the Southern Legislative Conference.
Sec. 2.  The House of Representatives extends its congratulations to John Young, the first recipient of the Sam Carter Award and expresses its appreciation for the work he has done.
Sec. 3.  The House of Representatives expresses its gratitude to the members of the House Host Committee of the Southern Legislative Conference and to the legislative staff for the work they did to make the Southern Legislative Conference an overwhelming success.
Sec. 4.  The Principal Clerk shall send certified copies of this resolution to all persons mentioned by name in this resolution.
Sec. 5.  This resolution is effective upon adoption.
