Speaker Greiman

"The hour of 12:00 having arrived, the House will now be in Session. We're joined today for the invocation by the Reverend Farries H. Morrison, Sr., Pastor of the Prayer Wheel Church of God in Christ of Springfield, Illinois. Reverend Morrison is a guest of Representative Michael Curran. And I wish the guests in the gallery to please rise for the invocation. Reverend Morrison."

Reverend Morrison

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people he has chosen for His own inheritance. The mighty God, even the Lord has spoken, he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof. So we read in the holy scripture and so we believe. Oh, eternal Father of our souls, grant to the Members of this Legislative Body a moment of quiet. Here they take up the duties of the day. Turn their thoughts to Thee and open their hearts to Thy spirit that they may have wisdom in their decisions, understanding in their thinking, love in their attitude and mercy in their judgement. Let them not think when this prayer is said that their dependence upon Thee is over and forget Thy counsel the rest of the day. Rather from these moments of hard searching, may there come such a sweetness of disposition that all may know that Thou are in this place. From this holy interlude may there flow light and joy and power that will remain with them until the night shall bring Thy whispered benediction, 'Well done good and faithful servant'. Let Thy benediction rest upon our Governor, and his Cabinet and this Legislative Body. Give to all the leaders and the led the wisdom, and sympathy and courage to do that what is right in Thy sight and best of all people of this great State of Illinois. Grant to them faith to believe and hearts to trust in our divine guidance. We pray that we may only desire that 1 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 which seems to be desirable if it is Thy desire first. So help us all this day through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."

Speaker Greiman

"The Gentleman from Lake, Mr. Matijevich, has moved for the adoption of the Agreed Resolutions. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. And the 'ayes' have it. Mr. Matijevich, was House Resolution 773 in your package? The Gentleman indicates that it was in the package. The Gentleman from DeWitt, Mr. Vinson, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

Vinson

"Mr. Speaker, regrettably I spoke too quickly a little earlier today. We do, indeed, have one excused absence, Representative Josephine Oblinger."

Speaker Greiman

"Let the record show that Representative Oblinger has been excused. The Lady from Cook, Ms. Currie, for the purpose of an announcement. Ms. Currie."

Currie

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the Members of the House would like to know that the Chicago World's Fair 1992 Authority, the public body we created a year and a half ago when the Governor and Mayor made their appointments to in November, is holding a hearing this afternoon at two o'clock in the Prairie Capital Convention Center for purposes of public comment on the Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement. All of the Members of this Assembly are welcome to comment or welcome to listen to other public testimony. As well, the World's Fair Authority has invited us to a party at five o'clock this afternoon at the Hilton Hotel. All of us are welcome there as well. The invitations said Baur's, but my information is the Hilton. It is Baur's. Okay, five o'clock at Baur's Opera House right down the street. Everyone's welcome to party after commenting and listening to public testimony. Thank you."

Speaker Greiman

"Now, Message from the Senate."

O'Brien

"Message from the Senate by Mr. Wright, Secretary. 'Mr. Speaker, I am directed to inform the House of 5 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 Representative the Senate has adopted the following Senate Joint Resolutions, the adoption of which I am instructed to ask concurrence of the House of Representatives, to wit; Senate Joint Resolutions #94 and 95, adopted by the Senate March 28, 1984. Kenneth Wright, Secretary."

Speaker Greiman

"On the Order of Speaker's Table, House Resolutions, Subject Matter - Space Needs Commission, appears House Resolution 597. Representative Breslin."

Breslin

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Resolution that directs the Space Needs Commission to do a feasibility study of providing day care services to state employees, especially those facilities... those employees that are involved in the legislative process and for Members of the General Assembly. I would... This Bill had a hearing in Human Services. It had a unanimous Roll Call, and I would appreciate your favorable consideration. The reporting date by the Commission will be June 1st. So we want to move this Resolution out so that they can start on their work."

Speaker Greiman

"The Lady from LaSalle has moved for the adoption of House Resolution 597. And on that, is there any discussion? Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Huff."

Huff

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, could we have a little order so I can hear what the Lady is trying to say?"

Speaker Greiman

"The Gentleman is correct. May we have some order for the speakers. The Gentleman from DeWitt, Mr. Vinson."

Vinson

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I have advised the Sponsor of the Motion that I will support the Motion. I do think it is a good Motion, and I see no problem with the Motion. I'm a little bit sad, I suppose the right word is, I'm a little bit sad that the Lady has not seen fit to make the Resolution as 6 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 comprehensive as it truly ought to be. You know, we're starting to talk here about a day care center here in the Capitol. That's what her Motion really imports, and I think that's a good idea. But, it would seem to me that before we get to a day care center, that the Leadership of this House, the Speaker of this House, ought to provide adequate facilities, restroom facilities for women Members of this House. Now, we've gone through one full year when there's been adequate space in this House to solve that problem, and we're moving into the second year. And the Speaker, who spoke so eloquently when he was in the Minority about the subject of equal rights for women, when he, as Speaker, doesn't seem to want to address that subject. I would suggest, Mr. Speaker, that you bring that up in your Leadership meetings and that you particularly ask the Sponsor of this Resolution to address that problem, if not to the Speaker, at least to Mr. LaPaille, who might be able to solve the problem. Thank you."

Speaker Greiman

Speaker Greiman: "Further discussion? The Lady from Cook, Representative Currie."

Currie

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and Members of the House. I'm surprised that you didn't limit the remarks of the former speaker since he was, of course, not addressing House Resolution 597. Representative Vinson knows that he has as much right as Representative Breslin or any other Member of this Assembly to introduce Resolutions. If he is as concerned as he tells us he is about equal rights for women, he can introduce an equal rights Resolution before this House. He can even introduce a Resolution having to do with facilities for women with respect to washrooms. But the question before us is House Resolution 597. He should have directed his remarks only at that Resolution. As he said it's an excellent Resolution, and I stand in 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 strong support of this Resolution. Perhaps, I'd even support another Resolution if Representative Vinson wanted to introduce one."

Speaker Greiman

"Further discussion? The Gentlemen from Lake, Representative Matijevich."

Matijevich

"Well, I was going to remind Sam Vinson it's a lot easier to adopt rules than it is to build washroom facilities. And you waited two years before you could adopt rules, and that was so easy to do. It's a lot tougher to build washroom facilities."

Speaker Greiman

"Further discussion? The Lady from LaSalle to close."

Breslin

"I'd appreciate a favorable Roll Call. Thank you."

Speaker Greiman

"The questions is, 'Shall House Resolution 597 be adopted?' All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Resolution is adopted. The Gentleman from DeWitt, Mr. Vinson."

Vinson

"Mr. Speaker, I believe that you'll find that, at least in the period when Mr. Justice Getty was Parliamentarian, there were rulings from the Chair that that kind of Resolution required a recorded vote because it directs the expenditure state funds."

Speaker Greiman

"Well, I did consult with the Parliamentarian immediately before announcing that, and he suggested that because it was a feasibility study and not actually the remodeling that that's all we do. And also, we're actually... we're asking them to make the study. It's probably preparatory on our... on our basis. I don't have any problems with it, certainly. But, I don't think it's necessary. Mr. Vinson, yes."

Vinson

"You mean what we did doesn't make any difference? Is that really what you're saying?" 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984

Speaker Greiman

"Like most of what we do, Sam. Message from the Senate."

O'Brien

"A Message from the Senate by Mr. Wright, Secretary. 'Mr. Speaker, I am directed to inform the House of Representatives the Senate has concurred with the House in the passage of a Bill of the following title, to wit; House Bill #133, together with Senate Amendment #1 and 2, passed by the Senate as amended March 28, 1984. Kenneth Wright, Secretary.' A Message from the Senate by Mr. Wright, Secretary. 'Mr. Speaker, I am directed to inform the House of Representatives thate the Senate has adopted the following Senate Joint Resolution and the adoption of which I am instructed to ask concurrence of the House of Representatives, to wit; Senate Joint Resolution #96, resolved by the Senate of the 83rd General Assembly of the State of Illinois, the House of Representatives concurring herein, that when the Senate adjourns on Wednesday, March 28, 1984, it stands adjourned until Tuesday, April 3, 1984 at 12 o'clock noon. When the House adjourns on Thursday, March 29, 1984, it stands adjourned until Tuesday, April 3, 1984 at 12 o'clock noon.'"

Speaker Greiman

"Mr. Matijevich on the Adjournment Resolution."

Matijevich

"Mr. Speaker, I move the adoption of Senate Joint Resolution #96."

Speaker Greiman

"The Gentleman from Lake, Mr. Matijevich, moves for the adoption of Senate Joint Resolution 96, the Adjournment Resolution. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. The 'ayes' have it, and the Resolution is adopted. The Gentleman from Will, Mr. Van Duyne, for what purpose do you seek recognition?"

Van Duyne

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On page two of the House Calendar today, it shows House Resolution 391 which has to do with a House Resolution urging the Department of 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 Corrections to not tear down cell house D, which I was unable to get heard last year. Well, it just happens that in the intervening time they have torn it down. I thought everybody would be interested in knowing that. So therefore, I see no reason for it to be...Jack to have this on the Calendar any longer. So I move the... with the indulgence of the House to table House Resolution 391. I don't like to, but I guess there is no sense in keeping it up."

Speaker Greiman

"Gentleman asks leave to table House Resolution 391. Does the Gentleman have leave? Leave is hereby granted. And, House Resolution 391 is tabled. Gentleman from Cook, Mr. DiPrima."

DiPrima

"Yes, Sir. Mr. Speaker, I just want to announce that I have the pictures of those that took...received the citation. And if there is any others that haven't received their citation yet, we've got them here at my desk, and we will also take a picture with you if you so desire. Thank you."

Speaker Greiman

"The Gentleman from Vermilion, for what purpose do you seek recognition, Mr. Stuffle?"

Stuffle

"Mr. Speaker, since you appear to be on the order of announcements, I'm...indicated to me by the Clerk's Office that there is some problem with Committee room assignments tomorrow, and accordingly, the Committee on Economic Recovery, which is posted to meet at 10 o'clock in Room 122 B, has been rescheduled. The Committee on Economic Recovery will meet in Room 122 B at nine o'clock. We have several Bills on the agenda at that time, so that meeting will be at nine o'clock for Members of the Committee on Economic Recovery in the same room, 122 B."

Speaker Greiman

"Mr. Stuffle, I...I... You may... I think you need a Motion, probably, for the changing of the time. So 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 83RD GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 96th Legislative Day March 28, 1984 the Gentleman from Vermilion, Mr. Stuffle, moves that the posting requirement with respect to the Select Committee on Economic Recovery be waived to allow the Committee to meet at 10 o'clock. I mean at nine o'clock. At nine o'clock rather than 10 o'clock as originally posted. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye'. I'm sorry, Mr. Van Duyne, do you wish to speak on this? All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Committee, therefore, on Economic Recovery will meet at nine o'clock rather than 10 o'clock as indicated on the posting, original posting. The Lady from Lake, Ms. Frederick, for what purpose do you seek recognition, Ma'am?"

Frederick

"Yes. Mr. Speaker, I move to table House Joint Resolution #42. House Joint Resolution #42 is an exact duplicate of House Joint Resolution #41."

Speaker Greiman

"The Lady from Lake, Ms. Frederick, asks that House Joint Resolution 42 be tabled. Now that's not on the Calendar today, is that right? Alright. Does the Lady have leave? The Lady has leave, and House Joint Resolution 42 is tabled. What purpose does the Gentleman from Will seek recognition?"

Van Duyne

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just a reminder for all the Members of the Energy Environment and Natural Resources Committee to pay attention their Calendar. We will meet this afternoon in Room 122 B at four o'clock."

Speaker Greiman

"Agreed Resolutions."

O'Brien

"House Resolution 774, Terzich; 775, Mrs. Younge; 776, Brummer; and 777, McPike. House Joint Resolution 127, Davis. Senate Joint Resolutions 78, Giorgi; 80, Giorgi; 94, Johnson; and 95, Van Duyne."

Matijevich

Speaker Greiman

"Certainly. Representative Younge, the Lady from St. Clair."

Younge

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I'd like for Mr. Wayne Renth and his wife, Louise, and Mr. Neckermann of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union to please stand and let us warmly welcome them for his outstanding service as an executive of the United Food Workers. Thank you."

Speaker Greiman

"Mr. Matijevich moves for the adoption of the Death Resolutions. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. Mr. Piel, on the Death Resolutions?"

Piel

"On the very first one, Mr. Speaker, he mentioned House Resolution, I think it was 746. He just mentioned the Sponsor but he did not mention what it did, and then you went to Death Resolutions right after that. So I would ask that he tells what 746 is."

Speaker Greiman

"Mr. Clerk."

O'Brien

"746 was a Resolution going to Committee, Committee on Assignment."

Piel

"Thank you very much."
