"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Representative Daniels and Members of the House of Representatives. It is indeed an honor and privilege for anyone to serve in the General Assembly. And for me, it has a special meaning. As you all are aware, I follow great tradition. My father had served in both Houses and later became Minority Leader in the Senate. He always spoke about his career in the General Assembly with highest regard. He said that this is where you listen to all sides of every issue. To serve effectively, you need to understand the different viewpoints and interests of all the people of Illinois, not only those who live in the city, but those who live in the towns, suburbs and farmlands. People come to this Body for help in dealing with all kinds of economic and social issues - some that are critical to the entire state and some that are of great concern to local government or local interests. I look forward to working with Speaker Madigan and all the Democratic Leaders, as well as with Representative Daniels and a good friend of mine, 5 72nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE October 2, 1985 Representative Hallock. I will be serving the people of the 21st District, which is composed of people of every ethnic, racial and economic status.

In conclusion, I ask for your help and guidance as I begin to serve the people in my district."

"House Joint Resolution 96, offered by Representatives Madigan, Daniels, Daley and all Members of the House. Whereas, our distinguished colleague, Representative John H. Vitek of Chicago, Illinois is retiring from the ranks of this august Body after 16 years of dedicated service to the citizens of this state; and whereas, Representative Vitek, a native and lifelong resident of the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago was first sent to the House of Representatives by the electorate of the 29th District from 1961 to 1966 and was returned to the office in 1976 by appointment to completa the term of Representative John Fary, since which time Representative Vitek's capable performance has resulted in his continual reelection by the voters of the 23rd and redrawn 21st Districts; and whereas, his tenure in nine General Assemblies has merely been the most recent portion of a career of Illinois public service that would span more than half a century, for this respected Democrat has occupied various positions at the local and county levels as well as in State Government for 42 years, including the Director of Real Estate Compensation for Chicago and Title Expert for Cook County Torrens Division; and whereas, Representative Vitek was educated in Healy Elementary School and Tilden Technical High School, worked as a junior 6 72nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE October 2, 1985 engineer on highway and road construction, reported for the 'Narod' Bohemian Press and has engaged his considerable talents in the real estate and insurance brokerage business; and whereas, Representative Vitek's civil involvements are legion, for doing World War II, he was honored for his civil defense services on behalf of military personnel and throughout the years he has been active in the Knights of Columbus, the Quigley Council, the LaSalle General Assembly, the 11th Ward Property Owners' Association and many other religious, social and youth organizations; and whereas, married to the former Mary Preske for 42 years, Representative Vitek lovingly raised a fine son, John Jr., with his late wife, as a proud grandfather of five and great-grandfather of two wonderful children. Therefore, be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the 84th General Assembly of the State of Illinois, the Senate concurring herein, that we commend Representative John Vitek on the occasion of his impending retirement from the House of Representatives, the Illinois General Assembly, after 16 years of stellar leadership and guidance, congratulating him upon the decades of tireless service, nobly devoted to the advancement of the health and welfare of the people of his community and this state, and noting with appreciation and respect the dedication of the ideals of humanity of the American system of democracy which such a career embodies; and be it further resolved, that a suitable copy of this Resolution be presented to Representative John M. Vitek."
"The Members should be advised that the lights on your desk do not work, and if anyone wishes to speak this Resolution, you could call... you should call attention to the Chair. Representative Daley, on the Resolution." 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 72nd Legislative Day
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, it is indeed a great honor for me to speak to this Resolution. John Vitek has been a great friend of my family. As a member of his district, he has served us well. It gives me a great honor to succeed him, and at this time, I would ask that the Motion be adopted."
"Representative Daley has moved for the adoption of the Resolution. And on that, the Gentleman from Decatur, Representative Dunn."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of the Resolution. It is an honor for me to stand before my colleagues today and indicate that one of the pleasures of being a downstater is to meet fine people from upstate, a good Croatian standing next to the Speaker on the platform, and it has really been an honor and a privilege to serve with you, John. I just don't want to let this Resolution go without rising to tell you that all of us downstaters have enjoyed serving with you. We like to have you here. We're going to miss you, and we commend you for the outstanding service you've done for the people of your district and to the entire state of Illinois, upstate and downstate as well. You have given us lots and lots of votes, and we're very appreciative, and we wish you the very, very best in your retirement, and thank you on behalf of all the people in the State of Illinois for the oustanding service you have rendered to this Body and to the entire state. God bless you, John."
"Representative Daley has requested that all Members be added to the Resolution and has moved for its adoption. All those in favor signify by saying 'aye', opposed 'no'.

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. What a privilege and an honor it is today to stand... and you all look beautiful from up here. I never realized that you were so beautiful people. Down there, you kind of miss it, but up here you can look right into your eyes and see the sincerity in there, and the letters that I got in the mail worrying about my illness. It shows you what a newspaper can do. They say, 'because of a recent illness.' Now, do I look sick to you today? I'm telling you, these people get you dying. I retired because I'm 78 years old. Josephine Oblinger is not going to finish her term, so we're going to work together with the senior citizens. We're not going to give up on that, and I personally want to thank the Speaker, Jim McPike, Gary LaPaille, all the staff for all that they've done for me all the years I've been here, and I don't hesitate to say that Lee Daniels is one of my personal friends, and I didn't hesitate to vote for certain Republican Bills when the Democrats raised hell with me. And our Leaders here on the Minority side, I'm going to miss you all, the House Members, Sue Leonis of the Governor's Office. What a staff. And all the other agencies, I'm going to miss you all, but I got the reassurance that, John, all is not lost. Write to us. Let us know if you have any problems. So, with that, I'm so happy that I'm able to stand up here and look you in the eye and face you and get the newspapers to correct that thing that Vitek is retiring because of illness. I've got... Since I lost Mary, and you honored me with my 53rd wedding anniversary, and believe me, that was one of my greatest days, when they surprised me with it, and when I lost Mary a year ago July, driving down here in the wintertime, I used to fall asleep. When I hit around Lincoln, I'd say, 'Jesus, going at 55-60 miles an hour, I 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 72nd Legislative Day October 2, 1985 could wind up in a ditch. So, I talked to my son, I said, 'Jack, what do you think I should do?' He says, 'Dad, you want to live a little longer. We need you, too, his grandchildren. So, in the wintertime, you can go down to Dallas, Texas where you got a grandson. In the summertime, you can go up to Minnesota, Eagle River, where you got another grandson that's a youth minister. So, you got it made.' That's the reason I'm retiring, and I'm so happy that I could turn my seat over to the man that helped me get my seat, the son of Mayor Daley, who was one of the greatest leaders, and Johnny will never fill his shoes, but he can fill the seat, and I know you'll all welcome him and work with Johnny. God love you all, and farewell. Not good-bye, just adieu. Bye-bye."
"Representative Hallock."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members of the House. I would just like to remind Representative Vitek that those votes he made on behalf of the Republican Bills are probably some of the best votes he cast in this chamber. I've had the pleasure of serving with you for eight years now, and I truly will miss you as a fine Member on behalf of the Chicago delegation, and I want to wish you luck in your future. At the same time, I'd also like to welcome my old college friend, John Daley, who was with me at Loyola. It seems like a thousand years ago. We were best friends at that time, and I hope that we, too, can count on him for some Republican votes this Session. Thank you."
"Representative Hallock, you didn't imply that you graduated from Loyola in the dark ages, did you? A thousand year ago? The... Representative Vitek has a cake that he would like everyone to share in, and the Pages will be passing it out on the House floor. Thank you, John.

Mr. Clerk, read the proclamation from the Governor."
"Proclamation, Special Session, 84th General Assembly, Second. At the conclusion of the 1985 Regular Session of the General Assembly, important issues concerning the Metropolitan Fair and Exhibition Authority remain unresolved. These issues need to be addressed as soon as possible in order to ensure the timely completion of the HcCormick Place expansion project which is currently under way. Failure to promptly resolve these issues will delay badly needed economic benefit and jobs, not only for the City of Chicago, but for the entire state. Such delay would also be likely to further increase the final cost of the project beyond the overruns already experienced. Furthermore, the General Assembly ought to consider administrative changes of the Metropolitan Fair and Exhibition Authority Act, which will make the authority more cost efficient and accountable, not only with regard to the current expansion project, but also with regard to the Authority's general operation procedures. Significantly, with regard to the expansion project, the General Assembly should consider measures which Will provide the maximum possible assurance that this project will be completed in the most responsible, cost-efficient, expeditious manner possible. In addition to these issues, 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 72nd Legislative Day October 2, 1985 legislative action is needed to make House Bill 2472 effective immediately. Through an oversight, this important piece of legislation which, among other things, allows cultural institutions to obtain significant cost savings for financing capital improvements through the Illinois Educational Facilities Authority, would not have... would not have become effective until January 1, 1986. I have corrected this oversight through an issuance of an amendatory veto making House Bill 2472 effective immediately upon becoming a law. Accordingly, I urge the General Assembly to approve this change to House Bill 2472 as soon as possible. Failure to do so would delay several important projects which were already to proceed and put these institutions in jeopardy of losing some of the benefits intended by the Act, should market conditions deteriorate... Therefore, pursuant to Article IV, Section 5 (b) of the Constitution of Illinois, I hereby call and convene the 84th General Assembly in Special Session to commence on October 2, 1985, at 12:00 p.m. in order to consider: (1) Senate Bill 1454 and the Amendments thereto; (2) any other legislation or Resolutions dealing with the authorization of additional bonds for completion of McCormick Place Expansion Project, and appropriations needed for such project, and substansive legislations or Resolutions pertaining to the financing and operation of procedure of the Authority, and; (3) House Bill 2472 as amended... as amendatorily vetoed. In witness thereof, I have hereto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State of Illinois to be affixed, done at the Capitol in the City of Springfield the 16th day of September in the Year of Our Lord 1985, and of the State of Illinois, 167th.
