"The House will come to order. Members will be in their seats. The Chaplain for today will be Rabbi Israel Zoberman of the Temple B'rith Sholom in Springfield. Rabbi Zoberman is a guest of Representative Mike Curran. Will the guests in the balcony please rise to join us in the invocation?"

Rabbi Zoberman

"Our God of life, cherished Legislators, confronted by a heavy agenda of conflicts and subtle demands, it is easy to dispair. However, we are endowed with the unique human capacity to face reality as is without circuming to its difficulties. May we not be deterred to strive to realize in spite of the obstacles and because of them those ideals and values distinguishing our earthly adventure. Amen."

Its a distinct honor to join my fellow Representatives here in Springfield in this distinguished Body, and I hope that I truly live up to the best ideals for our state and for our nation. Thank you very much."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Daniels."

Daniels

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, if I might take a minute to reiterate the swearing in of John Countryman. I am sure I speak for all the Members of the General Assembly in welcoming Representative John Countryman as our newest Member of the House of Representatives. Ladies and Gentlemen, John Countryman has an outstanding background that I know will make him an outstanding and exceptional Legislator. A former DeKalb County Public Defender and Special Assistant Attorney General, Representative Countryman has served as Chairman of the State Board of Elections, as an adjunct professor of law at Northern Illinois University and as a private attorney in DeKalb for several years. He has been Active in civic and community affairs in north central Illinois, and I think he has already proven himself to be a great asset to his community. John, if I can give you just one small bit of advice, it is that you can hardly do better than to follow the example of your predecessor, Joe Ebbesen. We all miss Joe, a great Legislator, a good friend, and we wish him the best of luck wherever his 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 career takes him now. Welcome, John, and I might add just as a short note that John Countryman's great grandfather served in the Illinois General Assembly. So, John, welcome, proud of you, carry on the tradition of your fine family, and I hope that your days and years and many, many terms with us in the Illinois General Assembly will be productive for you, your constituents and the Body as a whole. Thank you, John."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Matijevich on Agreed Resolutions."

O'Brien

"House Resolution 749, Stuffle; and House Joint Resolution 126, Woodyard."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Matijevich."

Matijevich

"House Resolution 749, Stuffle, commends Lori Butler on her achievements in 4-H; and House Joint Resolution 126, Woodyard, affirms the interest of the State of Illinois in making the Wabash River navigable and urging the Corps of Engineers to update its study. I move the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions, Mr. Speaker."

Speaker McPike

"The Gentleman has moved the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Resolutions are adopted. On Death Resolutions, House Joint Resolution 114. Mr. Clerk?

O'Brien

"House Joint Resolution 114, by Representative Oblinger. Whereas, this House was saddened to learn of the death of Peg R. Blaser, who was Director of the Illinois Department of Aging from May, 1979 until May, 1983; and whereas, 31 members of the Illinois Council on Aging join in this memorial of Peg R. Blaser; and whereas, Peg R. Blaser set an example of personal courage, of respect and appreciation for the dignity and worth of others and of the dedication to solve the problems of our older citizens; and 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 whereas, she also gave unselfishly of herself to the cause of feminist issues with her work for passage of the Federal Equal Rights Amendment in Illinois and her work with the League of Women Voters; and whereas, her commitment me to cause of others was further evidenced in 1981 when she received the 'Elizabeth Cady Stanton Woman of the Year' award from the Springfield Women's Political Caucus; and whereas, Peg B. Blaser was devoted to her family; her husband, Bill; her daughter, Joan; and her sons, Glenn and Steven; and her 10 grandchildren; and whereas, she made an immeasureable contribution to the people of her community, her country and her state by her active participation in the 1981 White House Conference on Aging. Now, therefore, be it resolved by the 83rd General Assembly of the State of Illinois that we do hereby recognize and commemorate the numerous and worthy contributions made by Peg B. Blaser to the people and government of this state; and be it further resolved that we offer sincere condolences to her husband, Bill; her daughter, Joan; and her sons, Glenn and Steven. And be it further resolved that suitable copies of this Resolution be presented to the members of Peg B. Blaser's family."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Oblinger."

Oblinger

"Mr. Speaker, would the Members of this General Assembly show the same respect for Director Blaser's Memorial that you have for the others? I have never heard a memorial read when everybody was talking and running around.

Speaker McPike

"Would the Body please give Representative Oblinger your attention?"

Oblinger

"Mr. Speaker and Members of the General Assembly, most of you knew Peg Blaser as the Director of the Department on Aging. She had a number of attributes that we all admired, 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 but most of all, I think that as a good friend, I admired her dedication to her family, to her job, and to her ideals, and she was one person with whom you could disagree without being disagreeable. And I know we are all going to miss her, and I wish that to make a motion to all the Members of the House join in this Resolution."

Speaker McPike

"The Lady has asked that all Members of the House be added to the Resolution and has moved for the adoption. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Resolution is adopted. The Chair is prepared to adjourn. We have a Death Resolution for a former Member. If the Body would give the attention to the Clerk, the Resolution will be read and adopted, and we will adjourn until tomorrow at the hour of 12:00 noon on the adoption of the Death Resolution."

Leone

"House Resolution..."

Speaker McPike

"Read the Resolution, Mr. Clerk."

Leone

"House Resolution 748, Representative Daniels. Whereas, Donald B. Anderson, a member of the Illinois Pollution Control Board and our esteemed, beloved former colleague, died March 12; and whereas, all of the Members of the House join Mr. Anderson's family and friends in grieving his loss; and whereas, Mr. Anderson was a three-term State Representative, serving the LaSalle-Peru area from 1975 to 1981; and whereas, after his service in the Illinois House, Mr. Anderson continued his career of public service, becoming a member of the Pollution Control Board, where he assumed responsibilities for most of its hazardous waste rule-making cases and led the drive for the Illinois adoption of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and whereas, before his election to the House, Mr. Anderson had already established a long and inevitable record of service to his community, where he 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 served on the Peru Planning Commission, the Peru Zoning Board of Appeals, the Peru Library Board, was auditor of Peru Township and was the president of the Tri-County Credit Unions; and whereas, his lifelong concern for youth led him to help found the Peru Youth Center and the Starved Rock Library System; and whereas, during World War II, Mr. Anderson served his state and nation as a member of the United States Navy; and whereas, his death left a great void in the hearts of his family and all those who knew him as a competent, congenial and magnanimous man. Therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the 83rd General Assembly of the State of Illinois that we mourn the loss of one of Illinois' finest public servants, Donald B. Anderson; and be it further resolved that we extend our deepest sympathies to his widow, Nancy, and to their children and to their grandchildren. And be it further resolved that suitable copies of this Resolution and Preamble be presented to Mr. Anderson's family; and, as a further token of our grief, the House now stands adjourned."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Daniels."

Daniels

"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, the times when the House stands and remains silent for a few moments to honor a former Member are times that, in many of our minds, we do regret even to do, because we have lost a friend and valued colleague, a gentleman that I started with in the Illinois General Assembly in 1975 and who was my seat mate. He served with us until 1981, and then after that, became a member of the Pollution Control Board. Although Don and I did not always agree on a political decision or necessarily on votes itself, I grew to respect Don Anderson as a person, as a husband, as a father and as a Legislator. I will miss Don, because our institution, 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 once again, has lost a valued former Member. And I know that there is one thing that we did have in total confidence and in total common with every other Member in this House, in that Don loved government. Where we miss Don, the state will miss him, and he, too, will miss us. But I know that the good Lord willing, that Don will carry on the fight, and he will watch over us as we miss him throughout the days. Mr. Speaker, please allow all Members of the House to be added as Sponsors of this Resolution to convey our sorrow to his wife and children."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Dunn."

John Dunn

"Thank you Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I, too, rise in support of this Resolution. Back in 1974, Minority Leader Daniels, Don Anderson, others and I came here for the first time to the Illinois General Assembly. Those were back in the days, for the newer people, when we had 177 Members here in the House; and, in fact, 1974 was the first post-Watergate election. In that election, there were 101 Democrats elected and only 76 Republicans. It wasn't easy to be elected as a Republican in that year and especially difficult for a newcomer, as Don Anderson was. It is a real tribute to him to have been elected back in 1974, a very difficult year for Republicans. I don't know what the voters of his district, which I believe was the 45th District at that time, saw in Don that caught their eye. I really don't know whether he was out working door-to-door, or whether he had an army of volunteers, or whether he had a party organization behind him or whether his family was in a position to work hard for his election. But what I do have a hunch about is that Don was not elected because he was just a media creature, an 8x10 glossy or someone who projected just the right image on television. I have a hunch that, consciously or 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 subconsciously, directly or indirectly, the people back home in his district sensed that there was something different about Don Anderson. And for once, they were willing to take a chance on someone who seemed to be too good to be true, and what they got in return for their investment was someone who was too good to be true. Don Anderson came here and served very, very quietly. It was my privilege to serve on the Appropriations Committee with him. He was a full-time Legislator. I know that back home in his district, himself alone, without the benefit of the bureaucracy, he prepared pamphlets which he distributed to the people back home in his districts. I know he prepared one on widowhood for those who suffer the pangs and anxiety that his family is going through right now with regard to that. He prepared other pamphlets on senior citizens, on saving energy, on the problems of alcoholism, consumer's guide to food labels. I wonder if very many of us would have taken the time to do those kinds of things. In addition, I know for a fact that back in his district when people came into his office for help with Circuit Breaker forms, they didn't have to go to an aide. Don was there himself doing that kind of work and, in fact, the day after he lost the primary in March of 1980, the very next day he was back in his office filling out Circuit Breaker forms. We don't get very many people like that in Springfield, people who come here who put merits of issues and the right kind of thinking above political expediency, and Don was one of those who did that kind of thing. All of us here who serve in the General Assembly wish we could leave here and point with pride to the accomplishments that we have made. I think Don Anderson has...can point with pride. He has set an example for all of us to follow. He is the kind of man that I know I would like to have serving me, and I 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 feel that all the rest of us would like to have people like him serving us. Don has set an example that is very difficult for all of us to follow and he will be long remembered, and his family has the sympathy of myself, my family, and I know, all our colleagues.

Speaker McPike

"Representative Vinson."

Vinson

"Thank you Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I had the pleasure of representing a couple of counties in common with Representative Anderson. I did, as with Mr. Dunn, I served on the Appropriations Committee with him. And I would just simply make the point that no Legislator that I have ever been familiar with, indeed, no politician, has ever sought glamour less and yet worked harder on the actual day-to-day workings of the House and for his district. He was a truly great man, and I am personally sorrowed to see him passing."

Speaker McPike

"Representative Bowman."

Bowman

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Don Anderson was a special friend of mine; and, at times like this, we cherish memories, and I would just like to share one with the House. In my first term, I had planned as a vacation that I would, along with another one of our colleagues, walk from Joliet to Springfield and paddle a canoe part of the way and walk part of the way; and, as we passed through different districts we would drop in on Legislators who represented those areas. Anyway, the first day out, we stopped in LaSalle-Peru and saw Don Anderson and he said, 'Can I go with you?' And sure enough, first thing the next morning, Don Anderson was there outside our tent with his hiking boots on and he walked the rest of the way with us. Now, he had already had a heart attack before he did that. He had come back from that and had regained his strength, and I guess he knew at that time that he may not have very 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 95th Legislative Day March 27, 1984 many more years with us. And he wanted to enjoy life to its fullest and so when he had an opportunity to go on an impromptu hike across the State of Illinois he took it and looked forward to it eagerly. And we shared many days together on that trip and for that I will always remember Don Anderson, the warmth that he conveyed. He was a very decent man, a decent gentleman, and I think all of us who knew him loved him well and we shall miss him."

Speaker McPike

"The Minority Leader, Daniels, has asked that all Members be added as Cosponsors of the Resolution. With the adoption of the Resolution, allowing a half-hour for Perfunctory, Representative Daniels has moved the House stand adjourned until tomorrow at the hour of 12:00 noon. All those in favor say 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Resolution is adopted. The House stands adjourned."

O'Brien

Giglio
