"The House will come to order and the Members will please be in their seats. We will be led in prayer today by Sister Susan Thomas who is a member of the Sisters' of Mercy who are celebrating their 150th anniversary. This Order was founded in Dublin, Ireland, for those of you that may have an interest. Sister Thomas."

Sister Thomas

"God, our Creator, we come before you with grateful hearts. Surely Your goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives. In times of misfortune, You sustain us. You are ever present, our refuge and strength. As we pray for our country, we are ever mindful that You have called those who show mercy blessed, for mercy shall be theirs. Teach us to serve the poor and needy with brotherly compassion helping them to lead lives of human dignity. Teach us to offer men and women of all races, the immigrant and the native, the privileged and deprived, the opportunity to make their unique contributions to our nations' well being. Teach us to use the Earth and its fruits and the products of human enterprise in the spirit of stewardship. Teach us to love the ways of peace and spurn the temptations to violence. Teach us to protect and encourage the churches and religious societies, to express your mercy through works of justice and charity. We pray especially for this Body assembled here; the heir to a living tradition of reverence for human and civil rights. In all of its deliberations, may the successful and the powerful claim no more than the poor, the alienated and the powerless. May the temptations to expediency and personal gain yield to the search for truth and common good. May the demands of war and the race of armaments give way to the claims of peace. And may this Assembly continue to pursue under Your guidance, the blessings of liberty and 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 justice for all. We place our prayer before You, Almighty God, confident of your providence and committed to making ourselves agents of Your peace and love in the world."

Speaker Ryan

"Thank you, Sister. We will be led in the pledge today by Representative Ewing." Ewing, et al: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

Speaker Ryan

"Roll Call for Attendance. Are there any excused absences? Representative Telcser."

Telcser

"Mr. Speaker, would the Journal please show that Representative Betty Lou Reed is absent because of legislative business?"

Speaker Ryan

"The record will so indicate. Are there any excused absences from the Democrat side? Representative Madigan, do you have any excused absences? Take the record, Mr. Clerk. 153 Members answering the Roll Call. A quorum of the House is present. Representative Telcser. If we could your attention please.

He was sworn in on September 28th to fill the vacancy of Representative Schuneman who was appointed as a Member of the Senate. I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce to you Representative Myron Olson who is a former Circuit Clerk of Lee County, and he resides in Dixon, Illinois. Representative Olson."

Speaker Ryan

"Reading of the Journal."

Leone

"House Journal, 42nd Legislative Day..."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Telcser."

Telcser

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I move that we dispense with the reading of the Journal and that Journal #42 of May 15 through Journal #77 of July 1, 1981 be approved as read."

Speaker Ryan

"You've heard the Gentleman's Motion. All in favor signify by saying 'aye'... Representative Getty, do you seek recognition?"

Getty

"Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Gentleman would repeat the dates in question for the Journals."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Telcser."

Telcser

"Mr. Speaker, I had moved that we would dispense with the reading of the Journal and that Journal #42 of May 15 through Journal #77 of July 1, 1981 be approved as read."

Getty

"Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Telcser. If my memory serves me correctly, the dates of May 15 and May 16 were the dates when certain actions took place which were extremely controversial. I wonder if you would withhold that Motion for the time being and let us refresh our recollection. I want to let you know that it's our intention to dissent or to challenge the approval as those Journals have been submitted, and I'd like to have you withhold that Motion so that we can at least eliminate those dates where there is no controversy."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Telcser."

Telcser

"Alright, Mr. Speaker and Members, I'd be delighted to accommodate the Gentleman, and I will withdraw my Motion so that he can refresh his memory regarding certain dates in regard to the Journal."

Conti

The assembly appointed Stetsko Prime Minister of the newly independent government. 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 Two weeks later because of the lack of cooperation with Hitler he was arrested and wounded several times by the Nazis and jailed in the 'Saucenhausen' concentration camp. Ladies and Gentleman, the Ukrainian Prime Minister, the President of the Central Committee of the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of nations, which is known as ABN, Mr. Yaroslav."

Yaroslav Stetsko

"Thank you, very much. Honorable Mr. Speaker, Honorable Representatives, Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the Legislators of the State of Illinois for commemorating the 40th anniversary of the restoration of Ukrainian Statehood proclaimed in Lvov, capital of Western Ukraine June 30, 1941 by Ukrainian national Assembly. June 30, 1941 marks the beginning of a period in our history known as the Ukrainian Underground State, which lasted well into the 1950's, when the military units of the Organization of Ukrainian nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army were still leading an armed struggle in defense of the Ukrainian Independence and Statehood. As a result of this proclamation, the Ukrainian nation waged a war of liberation fought on two fronts against both Nazi Germany and Bolshevik Russia - two of the largest imperialistic, totalitarian and military powers of that time. It is my opinion that the act of June 30, 1941 was of historical significance, not only for Ukraine and for the subjugated nations of that time, but perhaps for all of Europe and the Free World. If the western allies had established a common front with Ukraine, a nation 53 million strong, the greatest oppressed nation in the world and with other subjugated nations against both Nazi Germany and Bolshevik Russia, the Second World War would have been victorious for the world of freedom and justice. Not only are the Nazi Germany, but also are Russian communists prison of nations. 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 Ladies and Gentlemen, the contemporary international situation is particularly grave. The expansion of Russian imperialist is well known to us all. Policies of friendship, appeasement, containment, convergence and detente have proven to be useless in stemming the centuries-old brazen Russian imperialist which aims at complete world domination. The West must realize that within the Russian empire there exists a new ideological and political revolutionary superpower - the subjugated nations, which is destroying the empire from within. These nations are the best allies of the West. Taking this factor into consideration, the following points should be included in Western political and military strategy. The Free World should engage the Soviet Russia in the struggle of ideas and ideologies by recognizing the liberation movements of the subjugated nations as the legitimate representatives of these countries at all international forums, including the United nations. The West should provide the national liberation movements with access to the various forms of mass media to facilitate communications with their contrymen behind the Iron Curtain on a mass scale. Assistance should also be provided in the form of military training as well as other political and material and technological means of support. The nations of the Free World should proclaim A Great Charter of Independence for all of the nations subjugated by Russian imperialist and communist in the USSR and the so-called Satellite States. The United States, as the champion of freedom and justice, should establish a George Washington World Freedom Academy, as a counterpart to the Moscow Lumumba University which trains imported terrorists for the implementation of Russia's imperio-colonial policies throughout the world. A Department of Insurgent-Liberation 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 Warfare should be established within the Pentagon and/or the Headquarters of the NATO alliance. The liberation struggle of Ukraine, Afghanistan or Poland are proof of the internal weaknesses of the Russian prison of nations - this colossus on clay feet. The might of the subjugated nation in its struggle against Russian imperialist invaders is exemplified by Afghanistan where soldiers of the Soviet Army refused to fight against a freedom-loving people. Poland is another proof that the atomic superpower is helpless in suppressing the will to freedom of the smaller Polish nations. The best example is their ten year long arm struggle of Ukraine against Russian occupational armies without any help from the Free World, and the present regeneration of the nationalism and Christianity, especially among the youth in Ukraine with its underground catacombe church and seven catacombe bishops. Russia, not being able to mobilize the working classes against these nations, created in Moscow a center of international terrorism as a means of destroying the free societies of the West. The danger of nuclear holocaust cannot be negotiated away. Soviet Russia has skillfully exploited Western fears of nuclear war by blackmailing the West into meekly acquiescing with each ever-increasing conquest. Our strategic alternative is based on the knowledge that the subjugated nations within the Russian empire represent a vast untapped force, which, in a common front with the nations of the Free World, provides the strategic raison d'etre for defeating the last remaining empire. A political and military strategy, based on synchronized national liberation revolutions within the Russian colonial empire is the only alternative to the thermonuclear war. In conclusion, I would like to quote an outstanding British military strategist, Major General J.F.C. Fuller, who once 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 wrote, I quote, 'Only the unity of the western nations and their agreement with the national liberation movements behind the Iron Curtain can ensure final victory...The reason should be obvious. It is that the Kremlin is living on a volcano, and it knows that the most explosive force in the world is not to be found in the hydrogen bomb, but in the hearts of the subjugated peoples crushed under its iron heel...'. Thank you, very much for your attention."

Conti

"Mr. Prime Minister, we wish you all the luck in your endeavors, and I was sincerely honored to know that one of your members of your delegation is a resident of the Village of Elmwood Park, Dr. 'Sharski', who...He and his wife reside in Elmwood Park. I've asked Myron Kulas to come up here, the second Member in the State of Illinois to be of Ukrainian descent, to introduce the rest of the delegation for the correct pronunciation of the names. And we sincerely hope the best for you and your organization. Myron Kulas, will you do the honors in introducing all of them?"

Kulas

"Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, it is indeed an honor for me to stand on this podium with the former Prime Minister of the Ukrainian Government. This General Assembly, in June, passed a Resolution commemorating the 40th anniversary of the renovation of the Ukrainian independence in Ukraine. This man beside me has fought all his life for a free and independent Ukraine and he has fought against Russian imperialism for all freedom-loving nations in the world. And, for that, we all commend him. We have here also his lovely wife, Mrs. Stetsko, who is the editor of the ABN Correspondence Magazine throughout the whole world. We also have... We also have with us Dr. and Mrs. 'Kotokevich' from Elmwood Park. Dr. 'Kotokevich' is the President of the Ukrainian 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 Congress Committee in Illinois. We have Mr. and Mrs. 'Adostitski' from the Ukrainian Radio Program in Chicago, Illinois. We have Mr. Roman 'Zolrodney', President of the Organization of the Offense of the Four Freedoms of Ukraine in Chicago. And also we have Mr. 'Metrosdy', a Member of the Ukrainian Businessmen's Association in Chicago. Thank you, very much, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for your attention."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Telcser."

Telcser

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, I don't know that any single Resolution could say it all about Dave Shapiro. I recall in Dave's first term, he sat in the same row with I and the great number of hours we spent together talking about his district, the Assembly, the State Government. And I was always impressed with Dave's sincere concern for the process. I think it's obvious now that his concern was recognized by being elected the leader of his party in the Senate. Dave Shapiro will be long remembered by all of us. I, in particular, will remember him for the rest of my life. Dave Shapiro was a gentleman. He was a great family man, and what's more, he was a great statesmen. Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, it is with a great deal of pride and it is indeed an honor for me to offer and move the adoption of House Resolution #1(sic, 112)."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Madigan."

Madigan

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen, I rise in support of Mr. Telcser's Motion for the adoption of this Resolution. David Shapiro was a very honest man, a very sincere person, 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 82ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 79th Legislative Day October 14, 1981 a man of the highest integrity and intestinal fortitude. My experience with Senator Shapiro began when he and I were House Members and continued when he and I both served in leadership capacities in the General Assembly. I never knew the man to be anything but totally honest, totally sincere in any capacity that he served. He served with great honor and great distinction. He was a great credit to this General Assembly, to his family and to the community that he represented. On behalf of the Democrats, I wish to express our condolences to the Shapiro family and to all those who, like us, mourn his passing."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Ebbesen."

Ebbesen

"Yes, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I, too, join the leadership and the Members of this House in expressing our condolences as Senator Shapiro was the Senator from the 37th District and everything has been said. He was truly an outstanding, dedicated public servant. And, if it could be said, that there is such a thing as being an extremely effective public servant and Legislator with a low profile, it was certainly Senator Dave Shapiro. And I join with every Member of this House in expressing our condolences to Mrs. Shapiro and members of the family."

Speaker Ryan

"Representative Telcser, to renew your Motion and ask for leave."

Telcser

"Mr. Speaker, I first of all ask for leave to have every Member of the House added as a Cosponsor of the Resolution."
