"Mr. Speaker, may I ask the sponsor a question?"
"Yes, that's in order."
"Is this the Bill that provides for the Judge's Salary increases, Mr. Carol?"
"Yes it does, Mr. Hyde."
"Thank you."
"Hearing no objection the Bill is to be brought back to the order of Second Reading for purposes of an Amendment. Would you speak up, I can't hear you. Turn the Gentleman's mike on."
"Could it be left on Second Reading."
"Oh, the Gentleman desires to have that Bill left on the order of Second Reading. He does not desire to have any Amendments...."
"The Amendment is not ready."
"The Amendment is not ready?"
"That is correct."
"Alright. The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Hyde."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, ladies and gentlemen of the House, with reference to Senate Bill 915, the a...distinguished Gentleman from Cook, whom I believe returned that to Second for purposes of an Amendment and then he did not proceed with the Amendment, so I think he has to be taken out of the record. I don't think leave was granted for GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 13. that, it was granted to return to Second for purposes of an Amendment, so I would ask that this be returned to the order of Third Reading in view of that development."
"Yeah, so it's consideration postponed, your point is well taken. The leave was granted for that purpose and the Gentleman having not offered an Amendment the Bill is back on the order of consideration postponed, because leave was given....for what purpose does the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Shea, rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, leave of this House was granted on Senate Bill 915 to put it on the order of second reading for the purposes of an Amendment. The Bill then was left on Second Reading. I think that the Amendment is being drafted, the sponsor asked to hold it there, I don't see how we can get it back to consideration postponed Third Reading. Now the Majority Leader raises a technical point, but I don't think a technical point can overrule the will of this House, and there was leave of the House to get it on Second Reading. I think its going to take a little more than the Majority Leader's suggestion to get it back on Third Reading, postponed."
"Well, the point is that the purpose for which leave was granted was that it be..that it be brought back for purposes of offering the Amendment. Now leave was granted for that purpose and once it got back, the Gentleman asked to take it out of the record. Now, the... lead...yes he did, and a...and he did not proceed with the GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 14. purpose for which leave was granted and, therefore, the never Chair is ruling that the Bill was transferred off the order of consideration postponed, Second Reading. Now the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Hyde."
"Well, I a....we're no worse off than we were before. I submit it remains on postponed consideration then, and if and when you have the Amendment ready, and if and when the Speaker gets to the Bill, I should think that would be the appropriate time for the Gentleman to make his motion, so a...I don't see what we are getting exercise about."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Shea."
"Well, as the Majority Leader pointed out, that this is the Judge's Pay Bill. Now if he's attempting to scuttle this at this juncture, a..a...I understand what he's doing so I...I a...still think that it is going to take more than the Majority Leader's suggestion to put this Bill back there and I would object to it being moved at this time and I will file a protest."
"That's alright. The Chair's ruling is that the Bill was never moved off the order of consideration postponed to Second Reading for the purpose for which the Gentleman got leave and on that basis, the Bill remains on the order of consideration postponed. The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Carol."
"Thank you Mr. Speaker, as I'm sure you will recall and the record will reflect, when the Bill was called, I GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 15. asked leave that it be brought back to Second. At that time, the Majority Leader asked me a question as to what the nature of the Bill was. After that, the Speaker asked whether there was leave. The Speaker ruled that hearing no objection, the Bill was brought back. You asked me for what purpose, I said for the purpose of offering an Amendment. I did not ask that it be taken from the record. I ask that it be left on Second Reading that the Amendment was not yet ready. I think leave having been granted, the proper place on the calendar for it is Second Reading so that an Amendment can be offered if the Speaker happens to call it on Second, and then it can be moved to third if that is the will of the body. I think that the body had given unanimous consent to move it back and that is the order of business it should be in right now."
"Its on consideration postponed. Alright Senate Bills First Reading. Senate Bill 1335."

"The Gentleman from Union, Mr. Choate."
"Mr. Speaker, I would request the Gentleman, although I don't know what the Bill's about, I'm not sure I would oppose the motion that he's making, but I would request that he shows me the Bill and let me know what its all about, Ron, and maybe we can agree on the thing."

"Is there objection? Hearing no objection then the Rule 17 will be suspended so that that Bill may be posted for hearing this afternoon in Committee." The Gentleman from Union, Mr. Choate."
"A... Representative Regner, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee had a series of, I think, five Bills that he wanted to have heard this afternoon, which I had agreed to, and before we get out...I'm agreeable to them Mr. Speaker, and I have the numbers if you would like to hear them."

"4295, 4589, 4661, 4676, 4677, and 4668. I believe that he asked permission to have them heard in Appropria- tions Committee tomorrow and I'm agreeable to that."

"Mr. Speaker, would it be possible to postpone the adjournment motion until after the party caucus? Hopefully, those caucuses might resolve these games that we might proceed with the business of this House. It is too early to adjourn the session and in failing to proceed with these Bills, we are being held hostage to the Senate and the whim of the Senate across the rotunda because time is running out and we are concerned with the interest of our...of our constituents. Accordingly, I respectfully urge that we postpone adjournment until after the caucuses that we might all be heard in our respective halls. Good government can require no less."
"The Gentlemen from Union, Mr. Choate."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, I think that we are all interested in the feasible operation of State government, and I think we're all interested in good government as much as the Gentleman from Lawrence County. I would ask him to look at this watch and he'll soon see that the hour is rapidly approaching the hour of 1 o'clock. Duly scheduled Committee meetings are scheduled at 2:00 o'clock, and as far as the Senate holding the House hostage, if he will GENERAL ASSEMBLY STATE OF ILLINOIS 23. check the actions and the activities of the State Senate, he will find that their calendar is much more crowded than is the House calendar. I don't see any possibility of them holding us hostage on any matter, I would say to you that by the time the caucuses or the conferences are, over, the hour of committee meetings will be upon us and as far as taking any activity on the floor is concerned, between the adjournment of the conferences and the time that committee meetins start, if he will look at his watch, look at the schedule as far as committee meetins are concerned, he will find that this is in the interest of good government to let the committees which are duly organized to screen legislation to take its action as it has been posted to do so."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Hoffman," for what purpose do you rise?"
"Mr. Speaker, and members of the House, I would again rise to ask leave to hear Senate Bill 1364 in the Trans- portation Committee, I've cleared this with Representative Choate."
