"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House of Representatives. In front of the podium are four individuals from my district, from Rock Island, who have motored down from that City by wheelchair, 150 miles, on Illinois roads, which is dangerous enough, let alone the physical problems that develop after traveling that far in wheelchairs. They thanked me today for helping them get down here. What I have done is very little compared to what they have accomplished over the last week, and they would like to say a few words to you today about the handicapped. On my right over here is Jules Hernych. Jules, want to raise your hand please? Right there, Jules. Jules has a Ph.D. Bob Frazelle. Bob, raise your hand please. John Dorman. John. And Helen Fout. And if...who would like to lead off? Jules? We'd, I think, turn on Mr. 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 Kirkland's microphone."
"People of the Legislature, I am John Dorman, President of the Quad City Federation of Handicapped Individuals. The Department of Vocational Rehabilitation is an organization run and operated for handicaps and dictates programs for handicaps which are run by nonhandicapped people. The Federal Government funds each state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation with matching funds. These states, include Illinois, throws the money away on culturally disabled persons, even pregnant women, forgetting about the physically handicapped who are in desperate need of special equipment and assistance. Electric wheelchairs cost about $4,000. For a handicapped person living on SSI or social security and whose total income doesn't meet the price of a wheelchair, it is impossible for them to afford a piece of mobility that is essential to everyday life. We, the handicapped, one out of every 11 persons, are tired of being hidden away. We are sick and tired of the same old story. They are getting harder and harder to listen to. You can't have a wheelchair unless you get a job. But how can you get a job if you don't have a wheelchair? And take the person who is being funded by the state for attendant and doesn't get paid enough to pay the attendants for the hours they worked. When the attendant asks for more hours to do the job, the answer was, 'Put the person in a nursing home.', at three times the price of home care to the state. When equipment is needed for mobility, you are sent to a M.D. who has never been in a wheelchair. He doesn't understand what a hurdle, a curb, a step can be. So is he really able to prescribe the right equipment for each...for each one when each individual has a different need? This is like a hummingbird prescribing a diet for an elephant. We, the 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 handicapped, want to be represented in our own needs. We want to be there when the rules are made. We want to be contacted when people need equipment. We are tired of not being representative...represented in an organization that is supposed to meet our needs. We ask to be heard and to be seen. Thank you."
"People of the Legislature, my name is Bob Frazelle. I am a member of the Quad City Federation of Handicapped Individuals. Our children who are handicapped are supposed to be mainstreamed into classrooms with nonhandicapped children and given an equal education. They are not being put with normal children. They are placed in special education classes which emphasize noncompetition. The children that are educated in these classes, when placed in colleges and universities, fail, because they don't learn how to compete. By not mainstreaming these children, they don't learn to socialize with, quote, 'normal', unquote, people. But when more...but even more detrimental to society is the nonhandicapped who don't learn to interact with handicapped, and they feel that handicapped people are different, something to be feared and ostracized. In the late 40's and early 50's, polio victims were mainstreamed into regular classrooms out of necessity. These people are active and productive citizens today. For a handicapped person to get funded by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, they have to have some kind of guarantee of a job after they finish school. An education is supposed to be guaranteed to an individual whether the education produces a job, social skills and understanding of one's own environment, or to be able to interact with other people. It's not...excuse me...to interact with other people is not considered for the handicapped. The only consideration for the handicapped is a job. The Division 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 of Vocational Rehabilitation has, for so many years, been a group of people telling handicaps what they cannot do. Counselors answer to handicapped applicants is that they are daydreaming and fantasizing about jobs they can't do. It has been proven by psychologists that daydreaming and fantasizing has a direct correlation with job seeking. People try jobs and even design special equipment for them to do the jobs within their...heads before it's ever put on the drawing boards. Daydreaming and fantasizing should be encouraged in the handicapped and not be something that is...and not be something that they are ridiculed about. The point of handicapped education and special parking spaces were made to accommodate wheelchair transfer of capable drivers. Now everybody has special handicapped license: heart patients, obsese, arthritic people, which is robbing the people with wheelchairs of their mobility. And these...if these spaces are meant for other people, why not put a heart, or an overweight person or an older...old person on these license plates rather than just a wheelchair? Thank you."
"People of the Legislature, I am Helen Fout, a member of the Quad City Federation of the Handicapped. When a person becomes a wheelchair user and is covered by commercial insurance, the insurance will pay towards the equipment needed for home use such as wheelchairs, crutches, walkers and so forth. But sometimes that individual has to leave the home, if for no other reason than going to the doctor. In some areas, there are transportation providers to take a wheelchair-bound person to the doctor, dentist or a hospital. These services are good, but it does not provide transportation for any employment or socialization. A wheelchair user then needs transportation of their own. The insurance will not pay towards any equipment needed 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 unless it is workmen's compensation claim. Employment and socialization are a very important part of everyone's life, including a wheelchair user. The senior citizen who is a wheelchair user faces the problems of the handicapped, but also the problems of aging. There is also no help through Medicare or their insurance company to help pay for transporting equipment."
"Yes, my name is Dr. Jules Hernych. Good evening. Good afternoon. I am Chairman of the Board of Quad City Federation of Handicapped. Hire the handicapped. How can any organization like Division of Vocational Rehabilitation use the slogan 'Hire the handicapped', when they don't have any physically handicapped people working for them? We want at least one out of every ten people in this office to be physically handicapped. We want the immediate dismissal of Tom Erickson, who has run the Rock Island office into the ground for the last two years. He has returned money to the state by robbing handicapped people of equipment they desperately needed. The handicapped of Rock Island County feel that Tom Erickson's ability to talk out of both sides of this mouth is his greatest...is our greatest disability. Christine Lee Briggs has agreed to send Bob Frazelle to college, but her logic makes no sense, since she won't fund him a wheelchair and special seat and still won't...won't be able to attend college classes without the wheelchair and a special seat. He spends from seven to eight months a year laying on his stomach trying to cure decubitus ulcers. Christine Briggs should be given a second chance at grammar school, so maybe she will learn something about logic. Thank you, 'Carol Lindley' for funding John Dorman's electric wheelchair. After two years of fighting for an electric wheelchair, John was funded for a chair and was told not to use the chair for anything 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 except work. John is a polio victim and has to crawl up a flight of stairs to get to his bathroom. He fought the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for two years to get a stairlift. John works at the Arsenal, raised three children on a job that pays less than 12,000 a year. He couldn't afford this lift, but after two years and taking legal representatives with him, he got the lift. We want to tip our hat to Robert Johnson. He has saved the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation many dollars. Jules Hernych needs an attendant and wasn't given enough hours to have the attendant do the daily necessities and care. When the attendant asked for more hours, they were told to leave when the time was up, regardless of the condition of Jules at the time. Robert Johnson told Mr. Hernych if he couldn't make it on the time that was given, he should think seriously of a nursing home. To Robert Johnson, we want to give the 'Buchenwald' Humanitarian Award. These experience may seem farfetched and laughable to you, but they are not to us. They are the experiences of the three men you see before you. We will all be very happy if these people all could join the unemployment roles, because they would make our credentials look very impressive. At the rate the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation is returning funds, in 15 years there will cease to be...they will cease to exist. We, the handicapped, are not asking any...for any more than a better quality of life, and I would ask you all to please seriously vote for the Bill, 284, the Madigan - Bowman Bill, because this Bill would help all of us. Thank you again."

On that question, all in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 54 'ayes', 49 'nos', and the Lady's Motion fails. On the Order of the Speaker's Table, there appears House Resolution 47, Mr. Hallock."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 47 asks that the Federal Government forgive the debt that we owe in unemployment compensation. As you recall, trying to address the issue of the debt a couple of months ago, we passed a Bill on unemployment compensation which, in fact, would increase the employer tax, require employees to take cuts in their benefits and overall, it's unsatisfactory. I believe this Bill suggests the best resolution of the problem, and I'd urge your support for this Resolution."
"Mr. Hallock has moved for the adoption of House 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 Resolution 47. Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, the question is, 'Shall House Resolution 47 be adopted?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 111 'ayes', no one voting 'no'. House Resolution 47 is adopted. House Resolution 77 is taken out of the record at the request of the Sponsor. House Resolution 81, Mr. DeJaegher."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Federal Communications Commission is considering opening up public service frequencies to include police, fire and ambulance to the highest bidders. If this is allowed, it would reduce the actual number of public service frequencies in Illinois and all across the country, causing unnecessary jams because of overcrowding of frequencies. This would have a serious impact on all 911 systems. I urge for your support."
"Gentleman moves for the adoption of House Resolution 81. Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, the question is, 'Shall House Resolution 81 be adopted?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 111 'ayes', no one voting 'no'. House Resolution 81 is adopted. House Resolution 90, Mr. Rea. Gentleman indicates he does not wish to call the Resolution. House Resolution 155, Mr. Keane. Do you wish to call your Resolution? Mr. Clerk, House Resolution 155."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. House Resolution 155 resolves that the House support Congressional efforts to ban plastic bullets, requests the U. S. State Department to urge British...the British to cease using the plastic and rubber bullets in Northern Ireland. The Resolution recites deaths 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 and injuries attributable to the use of the bullets and actions by international and European entities condemning the use of such bullets. I'd ask for a favorable Roll Call."
"The Gentleman moves for the adoption of House Resolution 155. Is there any discussion? There being no discussion, the question is, 'Shall House Resolution 155 be adopted?'. All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 102 'ayes', 2 people voting 'no'. This Resolution is adopted. House Resolution 157. Representative Koehler."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. House Resolution 157 directs the Auditor General to investigate and make recommendations concerning travel regulations and practices of... for state employees and state agencies. It is important to point out that this... the State Legislature by Resolution must authorize the Auditor General to conduct a management audit to determine a comprehensive policy for state travel policies. There are nine travel boards and over a hundred Commissions that have their own separate travel rules and regulations. This has led to... to an area where no one has complete oversight or authority as to the appropriateness of state travel. Furthermore, there is no actual audit to determine the appropriateness of the travel, nor whether or not the travel was indeed made and was followed through. The Resolution came through the Senate Execut... the House Executive Committee with only one dissenting vote. I would ask for your support."
"The Lady moves for the adoption of House Resolution 157. On that question, the Chair recognizes 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 Representative Keane."
"Question to the Sponsor. Have you... do you have any idea what this is going to cost?"
"Pardon. You asked the cost?"
"Yes."
"I... the..."
"How much will it cost the Auditor General?"
"The Auditor General has said that he could do this within the constraints of his current budget. It would not cost him any extra money."
"And he will not have to verify... would you just... I couldn't hear. Are you going to have him verify every travel voucher?"
"No. What this authorizes him to do is conduct a management audit to determine a comprehensive policy. Currently there are many policies, many of which do not agree. A year ago the JCAR, Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, made a study and made sixteen recommendations, two of which were to ask the various travel control boards and the agencies to get together on their travel policies. Well, these people all got together and said that was a wonderful idea, but they... after that they really did not do anything."
"Well, you're not asking him to go into whether the travel... you're just going to verify that the travel took place and the travel was paid for?"
"Yes, and he is going to recommend a... a policy, a comprehensive policy that would consolidate some of the various conflicts that we now have."
"But he will not go into whether or not the travel was in his opinion appropriate. In other words, he will..."
"No."
"If someone goes from here to San Francisco that all he 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 will do is see that they actually went, that there was a Bill, an airplane ticket, a railroad ticket, or whatever, and that they went by the right... they went by the right class of carrier, and they didn't spend... go first class or anything like that. Correct?"
"Correct, Representative. The only thing that he might do is recommend guidelines for determining appropriateness. He will not do this himself. I mean..."
"Thank you. Thank you."
"Is there any further discussion? Mr. Terzich. Mr. Terzich."
"Yes, Representative, is the Auditor General in favor of this Resolution?"
"Do you seek permission to put a question to the Sponsor?"
"Oh, if I may."
"The Sponsor indicates that she will yield."
"Thank you."
"Thank you, Representative. Auditor General Cronson is an appointment that is made by... is a nonpartisan appointment. He is... serves at the pleasure of the General Assembly. The Auditor General answered questions at the Executive Committee hearing. He did not believe that it was appropriate for him to take either a plus or minus stance on this, but he was favorable toward answering questions and said that he could do it within the current constraints of his budget."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I personally feel that the Auditor General is overburdened with work already, and I would like to correct Representative Koehler. The vote was 8 to 2, of which I happen to be one that voted 'no' and Representative Krska also. But, I think that the agencies at the present time 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 are controlling their cost. They should be able to determine whether or not that the travel allowances, or monies, or amounts were correct or incorrect, and I would urge a 'no' vote."
"Mr. Ronan."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Will the Sponsor yield for a few questions?"
"Sponsor indicates that she will yield."
"Certainly."
"Yeah, Representative Koehler, how many agencies at the present time review travel in the State of Illinois?"
"Pardon. You asked how many agencies what?"
"How... how many different agencies right now at the present time in the State of Illinois review travel on the part of state employees?"
"There are nine agencies that have travel con... control boards. Each of the executive offices have nine travel control boards. Now, you asked for review. There are no agencies that review for appropriateness of travel at this time. There are four different agencies who review it for technical consideration, such as clerical errors and to determine whether or not the numbers add up correctly. And every once in a while there might be a voucher that is subjected to a post audit review by the Comptroller's Office."
"Well, it seems to me, Representative Koehler, that there are enough safeguards that exist within the various nine agencies that... that you very briefly described and the Comptroller's Office. The Treasurer's Office can look at it. It seems to me that you're setting up a potential for witch hunts where certain Members could abuse the rights of other Members, and I think that what your setting up is a precedent that really doesn't make enough sense to warrant 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 any support from anyone on this side of the aisle. I think it's a bad concept, and I think it leads for potential abuse. I urge everyone to vote 'no'."
"Mr. Leverenz."
"Would the Representative yield?"
"Yes."
"What do you think you will accomplish by doing this?"
"Repre... Representative, I would be very hopeful that we could accomplish a comprehensive policy with regard to state employee travel. I realize that you are very concerned about the appropriations process that... that also goes in tandem with this particular Resolution. Now we do address the cost of state travel through the appropriations process, but the appropriations process does not address major policy issues. The Legislature must give g... must give guidelines to the Auditor General to address the policy issues with regard to state travel. For example, there are nine different travel control boards within State Government. Each one of them sets a different policy for their employees. This has led to perhaps unevenness as far as reimbursement for travel on the part of state employees. For example, if you travel for the Secretary of State's Office and stay overnight in Chicago, you are reimbursed at one rate which would be, let me see, which would be at thirty dollars a night, but if you travel for the Board of Higher Education, well, then you are reimbursed forty-five dollars a night. This leads to a discrepancy of fifteen dollars per night, and this has lead to a myriad of different travel policies. And further complicating this, we have over a hundred different Commission, each setting their own policy. In fact, when I was in Committee talking about this, I held up this folder that had this many different travel policies by the various 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 boards and Commissions in State Government, so it is very difficult to try to wor... work on a comprehensive policy when you have nine different travel control boards and a hundred different Commissions setting travel policy. And this has led to, perhaps not intended abuse, but it sometimes leads to the confusion of the issue."
"Well, then are you familiar with and do you possess a copy of this same report that was produced by the Legislative Council, this exact study that lays out all of the travel control boards of which there are eleven travel control boards, not nine as you state, and that it outlines all of the different various ways that the travel control boards operate. And the only way to change that is to introduce legislation that makes one travel control board. And you can lay out in that any policy you so desire. Do you have that report by the Council?"
"I have this report that is by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, and I have some of the excerpts from the Council report. And you are correct in saying that perhaps this might take legislation, but what I am asking the Auditor General to do is to come up with recommendations, that perhaps if we find that are necessary, we could put it into legislation. I am not trying to infringe at all upon the appropriations process or upon the auditing process. I am trying to make them to work together in order to come up with a comprehensive program so that state employees will be treated fairly and equitably and so will the taxpayers. The taxpayers have every right to expect that state travel, which last year amounted to thirty-three millions dollars, that this be used in a judicious and only essential manner."
"Okay. To the Resolution, Mr. Speaker."
"Proceed." 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983
"The Resolution, I believe, is frivolous. The facts are really already produced. The report by the Legislative Au... Council shows exactly what the travel control boards do. The legislative Commissions that operate within State Government, in most cases, simply adopt the travel control regulations for the General Assembly. We would put the Auditor General on a nine month or six month mission for which no-good end result would come about, and I would ask you would vote 'no'."
"Representative Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I know that the Sponsor of this Resolution is well intentioned, and I know... I know that we all have some concern about the various rates of travel that are paid around here, but we already have considerable information on that, and I think if we really want to standardize it we ought to put in a Bill to do just exactly that. But the other thing that concerns me a little bit, we work rather closely with the Auditor General and do use his staff over and over on small audits to keep from using contractual audits, and I can assure you this will tie up a lot of their time which may not require any extra money, but it will keep them from doing other things which I think are equally important. This is an area we need to address, but I think the Council has come up with enough information that could be the basis of legislation right now."
"Representative Matijevich."
"Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, only to confirm what the last two Gentlemen have said. They have been very close as Members of the Audit Commission that... and have told this Body that they have worked closely with him on matters of travel regulations. That's why we have a Audit Commission, and I think if anything's going to come 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 out it should come out of that Commission, so I would urge the Members to follow the lead of those Members who work very close with the Auditor General, and in that regard, I don't think that we can go wrong."
"Representative Flinn."
"Mr. Speaker, I move the previous question."
Speaker Madigan: "I don't believe that will be necessary, Representative, so if you could withdraw your Motion. The Gentleman withdraws his Motion. Representative Koehler to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. First of all I would like to... I would like to suggest to you that the Auditor General is not opposed to this particular Resolution. In fact, he wrote up the amended language that I used for the... for the Resolution itself. Furthermore, in various discussions with the Auditor General, he never once said that he was opposed to this. In fact, I would say that he was somewhat favorable toward it, in the fact that he said that he could do it within his current budget, and he certainly had the time and the facilities to do this. In fact, he sat right with me in the Committee, in the Executive Committee, when it was heard and gave me a great deal of information that was necessary in order to get it out of Committee. I... I believe that it is very important that we conduct a management audit. Now it is not sound management policy to have nine different travel control boards each setting different policies for state employee travel. Furthermore, to combound... to compound this problem are over a hundred agencies that set their own travel policies, and contrary to what one of the Representatives said before, they do not simply follow the Governor's Travel Control Board Regulations or the Legislative's Travel Control Board 29 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 Regulations. They set their own policies. I have the letters here to prove it. And every time the Comptroller's Office processes one of the vouchers for travel for one of these Commissions they have to go back and look at the individual policy of the individual Committee or Commission. I submit that it is not sound management policy to do this, and it is important that we direct the Auditor General to do a management audit of the travel policies of the state. If it were such good policy already, we would not have seen the recent revelations of about thirty-three millions dollars being spent on state employee travel and such out-of-state travel to such places as Atlantic City; Reno, Nevada; Las Vegas, various gambling capitols of the nation, and then others going to Louisville, Kentucky to the Grand Old Opery. Others spending thousands of dollars at the Chateau Louise and Dundee or perhaps at a convention in Canada. If our travel policies were adequate, we would not see these things happening and we would not see headlines in the paper such as we have seen recently. And when we have, on the one hand, some in State Government purposing a two billion dollar tax increase and our citizens back home see state... the state employees traveling to the tune of thirty-three million dollars and us refusing to clean up our act, it is important that we be the first to set the example of... of good control over our own excesses. And I think that it is important that we pass this Resolution today to send a signal to the taxpayers of the State of Illinois that we are willing to be efficient. We are willing to set a good example, instead of the same old politics as usual. Now when these travel... travel policies were set up, the intention was that state... state travel should be done only for necessary ex... for necessary events. That is the 30 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 intention of the legislation. That intention has been violated, and it is important that we move to correct that immediately. And I would move for the adoption of House Resolution 157."
"For what purpose does Mr. Vinson seek recognition?"
"To explain my vote when that time comes."
"The question is, 'Shall House Resolution 157 be adopted?'. All those in favor will signify by voting 'aye', all those opposed by voting 'no'. This Resolution will require 60 votes to be adopted. Mr. Vinson to explain his vote."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I would strongly urge adoption of the Lady's Resolution. She's worked on it long and hard. Everybody knows we have a substantial problem with this in the state, and at a time when we're talking about a major tax increase we have to be alert to the problem of controlling travel expenditures. This is a good basis for doing it, and I would urge an 'aye' vote on this Resolution."
"Have all voted who wish? The Clerk shall take the record. On this question, there are 88 'ayes', 9 people voting 'no'. House Resolution 157 is adopted. The Chair plans to adjourn. Is there any business to come before the House? For what purpose does Mr. Capparelli seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker, just to mention. On your desk, you'll see softball practice. All who want to try out for the team, it will be tomorrow night. It says...it says Tuesday, but it will be Wednesday, June 8, at 5:00, Springfield High School. Be out there for practice. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
"Is there any further business to come before 31 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 58th Legislative Day June 7, 1983 the House? Chair recognizes Mr. Matijevich for the adjournment Motion."
"Mr. Speaker, I move that the House stand adjourned until 12:00 noon tomorrow."
"The Motion is that we stand adjourned until twelve noon tomorrow. Those in favor say 'aye', those opposed say 'no'. The 'ayes' have it.
