"The House shall come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. The Chaplain for today will be Father Frank O'Hara, Pastor of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Springfield. Father O'Hara is a guest of Representative Michael Curran. Would the guests in the gallery please rise and join us for the invocation?"
"In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Dear Lord, give them spiritual understanding to see things as You see them, to feel about things as You feel about them, to be what You would have them to be, to be a tool in Your hand with no will of their own, but to discover Your will always, to do what You would have them to do, always a life of service, seeking nothing for themselves, always dedicated to duty, not counting the cost to self, always remembering that there is no one to serve but You. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."
"Be led in the Pledge of Allegiance by Representative Ropp."
"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."
"For those of you who want a Roll Call now, you know, we spend a lot of time in government talking about incentives. Here's a good example of an incentive. By way of announcement, the Governor and the Legislative Leaders met this morning. We are continuing to meet, talk and negotiate. I am not in a position to report that there has been any progress at this point. Representative Daniels and I have also met and discussed all of these problems and we plan to continue that throughout the day. And the plan 1 82nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE November 6, 1985 would be that we would now stand in recess until 5:00 this afternoon. Hopefully, we will have some progress report for you at 5:00. So, with that, we shall now stand in recess until 5:00 p. m. this afternoon. For what purpose does Mr. Mulcahey seek recognition?"
"Mr. Speaker, just for a question which I think a lot of people have... lot of guys have in their minds. Assuming nothing happens at 5:00 this afternoon, does that mean that we're... we'll be back here tomorrow? Do you plan on keeping us here until something is resolved, or do you see somewhere down the line that we might be going home for a few days and then come back?"
"I would like to give you a specific response to all of those questions, but I would trust that you would understand that given the nature of the legislative process, I'm just not in a position to answer with any more specificity than I have already, which is to say that we will see you all at 5:00. The House shall come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. We shall now take the Attendance Roll Call. Mr. Clerk, would you dump this Roll Call? Once again, Roll Call for Attendance. Mr. Greiman. Mr. Greiman."
"Mr. Speaker, would the record show that Representative Flinn is excused today for official business?"
"Let the record reflect that excused absence. Mr. Piel."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker. Would the record show that Representative McAuliffe and Representative Ryder are excused today?"
"Let the record reflect those excused absences. Mr. Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, would you consider going to the Order of Introduction of Bills? And I would like to tell you what 2 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 82nd Legislative Day I have just done. Special I have introduced Session and two November 6, 1985 two Bills in the in the Regular Session, which, frankly, I will tell you up front are just shell Bills. I have no pride of authorship. They are subject to being amended by title, by sponsorship, anything... if you and Mr. Daniels can get together and come up with something that's acceptable to the caucuses, I think then tomorrow they can be read a second time and amended to meet that. We can pass them on Friday. If the Senate still refuses to act, then the blood will be on their hands and not ours. I think it's time we did the business of the state and went home. So, if you would have those read a first time, at least we will be in a position to act tomorrow if you and the Leadership on both sides agree. I'd appreciate that."
"Now, Mr. Friedrich, you said that those vere filed for the Special Session?"
"In both Sessions, Mr. Speaker, and again, they can be... if you... if we can agree on something tomorrow that's acceptable on both sides, we can do the business of the House. In the meantime, I see that they do no harm in having them read today. Call?

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Vinson has requested the attention of the Body for what he alleges will be an important matter. Mr..."
"It's a bipartisan matter, too, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, you would note that one of the Bills the Clerk read on Introduction of Bills was House Bill 2572 and I have now filed a Motion with the Clerk to move House Bill 2572 to the Order of Second Reading Second Legislative Day. My intention would be to have that appear on that Order tomorrow and then to be able to pass that Bill the next day. The purpose of the Bill is to provide the necessary appropriation to the Office of the Speaker for $5000 so that the Clerk can get the necessary resources to move Senate Bill 525, the Bill on banking, out of the Clerk's Office over to the Senate and I would ask that my Motion now be considered, Mr. Speaker."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Mr. Speaker, I think Sam might know that. At least your idea was more brilliant than Representative Friedrich's because his idea would have kept us here four more days. I know yours was done in jest, but I'm afraid 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 82nd Legislative Day November 6, 1985 he may have run to the media with his and I hope that everyone understands that you need five days to pass a Bill."
"Mr. Friedrich."
"Mr. Speaker, I'll go over and talk to Mr. Matijevich about the rules, but actually, it would keep us here two more days and if anyone thinks we are not going to be here two more days under the present set up, then I think he must be dreaming."
"Mr. Vinson."
"Well, Mr. Speaker, perhaps as an alternative to my Motion, which I would like to have heard, you might consider employing Fred Selcke, if it's truly your intention to lose a Bill in Enrolling and Engrossing."
"Mr. Vinson, relative to your Motion, it is not in order because movement of that Bill would require approval of the Rules Committee. Mr. Vinson. Mr. Vinson."
"Mr. Speaker, I would ask special permission for the Rules Committee to meet while the House is in Session."

Clerk O'Brien: "House Joint Resolution 120, offered by Representative Homer and Koehler. Whereas, in the due course of time and seasons, each of us will have stayed his time on this earth; and whereas, the Honorable J. Norman Shade, former Member of the General Assembly of the 46th Representative District and for 24 years one of Pekin's most beloved Mayors has stayed his time and now departed, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered by many much longer than the 33 years he spent on this earth; and whereas, though a politician for 40 years, for eight years as Assistant Supervisor of Tazewell County, in addition to his 24 years of service as Mayor of the City of Pekin, and his eight years as a State Representative, the true measure of the man is best evidenced by the untold numbers of the little people of Pekin who remember how the Mayor helped them, often from his own pocket, by telling of how he touched their lives with kindness and caring and who will not forget how he gave of himself to others and in the nature of things, created the legend that was the life of J. Norman Shade; and whereas, a man of great energy who seldom took no for an answer when he was working for the good of others, Shade vas a member of numerous civic organizations and the recipient of numerous awards including the Americanism Citation from the Illinois Department of Am-Vets, the Silver Keystone Award from the Boys' Club of America and the Award of Merit from the Veterans' of Foreign Wars; and whereas J. Norman Shade leaves a proud heritage to mourn his passing in the persons 7 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 82nd Legislative Day November 6, 1985 of his beloved wife, Helen, his loving daughter, Mrs. Robert J. Caldwell and his three grandchildren; 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 express our profound sense of loss at the death of the Honorable J. Norman Shade, that we express our sincere appreciation for the services he rendered throughout his career which benefited the City of Pekin, the State of Illinois and his fellow citizens who loved him, not only for the deeds he did, but for the man he was; and be it further resolved that a suitable copy of this preamble and Resolution be presented to Mrs. J. Norman Shade as an expression of our deep sympathy."
"Mr. Homer."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. J. Norman Shade was a man who shunned the public spotlight and special recognition, yet these are the rewards one receives in our society after spending a lifetime of giving himself in the service of others. I met the Mayor, as he was popularly known, only once. Soon after my election as State Representative of the new 91st District, which includes Pekin, Norm Shade suffered a stroke and I went to the nursing home where he convalesced to wish him well and to meet the man who had become a legend in this Tazewell County community. On October 26, Norman Shade expired at the age of 83, but not before he had touched the lives of countless residents of Pekin, where he served as one of the most beloved Mayors for 24 years. His 40 year public service record also included eight years as a member of the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors and eight years as a Member of this august Body which honored him with a Resolution in 1974 naming the Interstate 474 bridge across the Illinois River at north 8 82nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE November 6, 1985 Pekin the Shade-Lowman Bridge after Mayor Shade and the late Senator Martin B. Lowman. Throughout the Pekin area, pennies sent by the Mayor have been stashed in dresser drawers for years, each a reminder of a new birth in the family. There are also the fading letters to servicemen overseas, a monumental task during World War II. Mayor Shade will also be remembered for the Christmas parties he arranged for needy children during the Depression years. And untold numbers of people tell stories about how he provided help from his own pocket when they and their families were in desperate need. J. Norman Shade was a man who truly practiced the Biblical admonition that men should cast their bread upon the waters. I would, at this time, Mr. Speaker, ask leave to add all the Members of the House as Cosponsors to the Resolution and I would ask that it pass by acclamation of this Body."
"Is leave granted for that purpose? Leave is granted. The Chair recognizes Representative Koehler."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. J. Norman Shade will long be remembered in the central Illinois area as a man of honor and integrity, but most of all, he will be remembered for his generosity, his generosity of spirit, not only for the time that he gave to the individuals in his community, but for the efforts that he made on everyone's behalf who came to see him. Norman Shade gave a little bit of himself to everyone because he cared. He cared about his community. He cared about his state and it is a pleasure and an honor for me to join in this Resolution. Thank you."
"Mr. Tuerk."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, there aren't too many of us in the chamber that served with Norm Shade; however, I had the opportunity and the privilege of serving 3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 82nd Legislative Day November 6, 1985 with him. But I knew Norm Shade long before I came to the House, as the Mayor of Pekin because Pekin is within ten miles of Peoria and I can tell you what the two previous speakers have said about Norm Shade I would add my acclamation to that in spades, as the saying goes. Norm would understand that comment too because he loved to play cards. He had a great sense of humor, as evidenced by the fact that every once in a while he would put a comb in the mail to me. Now, J. Norman Shade had a great sense of humor and everybody in this chamber loved the time that they spent with Norm and those in Pekin and surrounding territory, he certainly touched the lives, as was previously stated. Let me just add one other note. On Sunday mornings, Norm Shade had the distinguished habit of visiting hospitals in the Pekin area and as was alluded to, he would distribute gifts to the patients of the Pekin hospitals at his cost, of course, his expense and that just gives you an idea of the type of man Norm Shade was and he will be ever remembered in that particular area, not only of Pekin, but the Peoria area as well. And I would add my plaudits to Norm for all the great service he gave to the State of Illinois. Thank you."
"Mr. Matijevich."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I'm not from the Peoria or Pekin area and I very rarely speak out on these eulogies, but there was no one any warmer and decent than Norman Shade. He did have that habit of sending different things to us in the mail. I think all of his colleagues would around the holiday get an envelop with sassafras in it and he'd say, 'You're a good friend. Norm Shade.' Norm Shade would love to be known as the best poker player in Illinois. I never played poker with him, but I heard a lot of stories and if you knew Norm 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 82nd Legislative Day November 6, 1985 Shade, you had to believe that he was the best poker player. He wore a big Texan hat, even right on the floor of the House. Everybody who cane within sight of Norm Shade knew he was a friendly person. The rest of us, when we send to the Secretary of State what we want to have in the Blue Book, we generally dress it up to make it look like we are really somebody special. I think if you'll look back in the Blue Books when Norn Shade served, it said something about not known for anything special. That's the way Norm felt about himself and that was his biography. Norm Shade was just an ordinary good, decent person. Many... We are so proud to serve with people like him. That's the wealth of serving in the General Assembly. God rest his good soul."
