House Speaker backs pre session briefing over cost
The debate centers on a two day pre session meeting for the South Carolina House.

Opponents led by Rep Hartnett contend the meeting is unnecessary and will not shorten the 1971 session. A campus source notes campus demonstrations paused for parking.
