Thank you, Lord, for our form of government where we may all freely speak our piece regardless of our partisan politics, and Father, we thank You that we can come before this group and express our concern today for government and for international situations and for conflicts that are arising even now. We pray for a cessation of terrorist acts, for strength for our President and our Congress, for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We ask now, Father, that truly the peace of Christ Jesus, that Prince of Peace, would permeate our world, that we might live together in the brotherhood of faith in Almighty God, and amen."

"And what is the purpose of that change?"
"This conforms to the Senate rules whereby their consideration of Senate Appropriation Bills and keeps us in line with them. It allows us to be able to manage the Bills in good form so that we're both operating in the same direction at the same time."
"Okay. Thank you. To the Bill, Mr. Speaker..."
"Proceed, Sir."
"...And especially to my colleagues on this side of the aisle. I'd ask you to watch this very carefully. This telescopes the appropriations process and reduces the time in which to consider this most important subject. Although it only appears to put it back a week or two, the point of the matter is, is that it is already too compressed a time in which to consider Bills of such magnitude. The appropriate response should be to go... to go in the opposite direction, to give us time until the end of the Session in which to consider appropriation Bills, and I respectfully request that we oppose this as an unwise change in the rules."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Leverenz."
"Yes, I would..."
"Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. Leverenz. Let's 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 give Mr. Leverenz your attention, please. Proceed, Sir."
"I would simply rise to support this Resolution with... even if we moved it back another week, I'm sure the Appropriations I Committee and probably the Appropriations II Committee would have all the time in the world to properly address all the budgets we will see in Committee. Ask for your 'aye vote for Representative Matijevich."
"The Gentleman from Kendall, Mr. Hastert."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I happen to serve on Approp II, have so for a number of years. It seems to me when you're dealing with a 20 billion dollar budget, that those issues and those fiscal issues that face the state take a great deal of time. Now, I recall sitting in Committees hours and hours and hours in that week that we have - it's a special week that we have set aside to consider appropriation issues, we've been in Committee nine and 10 hours a day. Now, I'm not sure that if you accordion this or squeeze this thing together that those types of Bills and those... the gravity of the issues facing the State of Illinois are going to be heard. One thing that we have in this Illinois General Assembly, one tag that we have, one string that we have to go through the appropriation process. In that appropriation process, they have to be accountable, they have to be exact, they have to show substantiveness, they have to show planning, and if you start to squeeze that together, and if you start to gloss over the appropriation process, which in many cases is the last bastion that we have to make sure that our dollars are being spent fairly and honestly and effectively, then we... we're losing a great deal of what we're elected to do here. So, I respectfully ask the Members of this Committee... or this 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 House to reject this Resolution and would ask a parliamentary inquiry whether this takes a Roll Call of 70 votes or not."
"60 votes. The... Mr. Mays, did you wish to address the Body on this issue?"
"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Just to clarify a Roll Call was asked for and it is required on this type of rule change. Right?"
"That's correct."
"Okay. Well, in support of Representative Hastert in opposition to this proposal, I, too, feel that we should not be diminishing the amount of time and the amount of scrutiny that the Appropriations Committee can provide to the 20 plus billion dollar budget the State of Illinois has. I don't think it's in anyone's interest to do such a thing, and I believe that the more we... the more opportunity we have in our Committee systems to view both substantive and appropriation measures the better we are in general. So, I rise in opposition to this proposal."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Bowman."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I'm a little surprised at some of the arguments that I've been hearing against this... this Resolution. You would think that we were throwing out the entire rule book and starting from scratch. This is really a very modest change, and it is done in order to better synchronize the operations of the House with those in the Senate. I think that we can certainly give adequate consideration to legislation as it comes through the process. If it's necessary, we can always schedule another meeting during the week. Typically, we've only had one meeting a week. but our Appropriation Members are hardworking and devoted, and if they need more time for 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 questions, I'd be happy to accommodate them. But really, all we're doing here is just changing it by a modest amount, and we do need to better coordinate our operations with those in the Senate. So, I rise in support of this Resolution."
"The Gentleman from McHenry, Mr. Klemm."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. You know, as a Member of one of the Appropriations Committee, I find it extremely exciting and interesting, but when I also have Committee hearings that I must attend to for my other Bills that are not Appropriation Bills, and when I sit in Executive Committee and hearing my fellow colleagues' Bills coming to us for debate, really I don't have the time sometimes to be attending two Committee meetings at the same time - both Appropriations and our other Committees. So, it seems to me that for us who work in the trenches, the Representatives who work the Committees day to day, that we're better off and better served to at least have this period of separation of times between the normal course of our legislation and the Appropriations Bill. So, for that reason, I certainly stand in opposition to the passage so that we, as Members, can certainly spend the appropriate time listening to both the substantive Bills that we must act upon and then have time to deliberate the Appropriation Bills. So, I oppose this Resolution."
"The Gentleman from McLean, Mr. Ropp."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wish to ask the Sponsor a question, please. Hould he yield?"
"The Gentleman will yield for a question."
"Representative it has been stated that we're trying conform with the Senate. Why do we have to conform with the Senate? Why wouldn't it be better for them to conform with our rules?" to 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986
"They've already adopted their rules, SO it's a matter of... if we're going to synchronize. as somebody used the term properly, synchronize the business of both Houses, then you've got... you've got to have the same rule as to consideration of Third Reading of Senate Bills over there and House Appropriation Bills over here. You know, I don't think you nor I want to get into a match with the Senate. That's not necessary. What we want to do is consider the business of the House in an orderly manner, and that's what this does. You know, if you want to stay here till July 30th, go ahead. Vote against this Resolution, but this is to try to make sure that business is done orderly, that we adjourn in orderly fashion. That's what we're here for. If you want to have a backlog, then you vote against this Resolution. I don't want that."
"I don't necessarily want to have a backlog, but I don't think we ought to yield to the Senate. I think that's why we have two separate Bodies, so that we, independently, can operate in our own way of doing business. As a Member of the Appropriations Committee II, let me say that, in addition to supporting or not supporting measures of revenue and tax dollars for this program or another, oftentimes we, as Legislators, seem to get the attention of the administrator of a particular agency, if we had a problem with it, much better during appropriation time. And I would certainly not like to see this process speeded up, because all too often, we have too many constituents that, for one reason or another, need to have some questions answered from the director or administrators of certain state agencies, and I think that by speeding this process up, that we really take away that opportunity or at least hustle it up, so that we cannot get enough answers to questions that our constituents need. And I can go through 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 almost every agency and point out areas that we need specific questions to - maybe not those that address the money portion, but in the operation of that particular agency. So, I certainly think you ought to give this strong consideration and vote against this particular proposal. And Mr. Speaker, should this get a... a requisite number of votes, I would ask for a verification."
"There being no further discussion, the Gentleman from Lake, Mr. Matijevich, to close."
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, I think that House Resolution 940 makes sense. It allows us to conduct the operations of the House in a proper fashion. In fact, it does allow us even to have more floor time with regards to Bills, and I think we're all for that. We... We went too far last Session and wasted a lot of time after June 30th. I've served as Chairman of the Appropriations Committee for two terms, and believe me, we met independently when everybody else was through with their work. We met at all kinds of hours. You can put in overtime during the day if you want to. There's a lot of time in the day. There's enough time for both Houses to get their work. I'm amazed that the Republicans want to verify this vote. What do you want? Are you telling me that you want to logjam this House so that we don't adjourn at the proper time? That's really what you're telling me. That's what your vote is all about. You're not kidding anybody. I would urge all the Members on this side of the aisle to vote 'aye' on this Resolution so that we do conduct our business orderly and we adjourn on time. I move to adopt the Resolution."
"For what purpose does the Gentleman from Marion, Mr. Friedrich, seek recognition?"
"I'd like to ask the Sponsor a question, if I might." 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986
"Well, Mr. Friedrich, we have closed the debate. We closed it before your light... well before your light went on. I will recognize you to explain your vote, Sir. The question is, 'Shall the House adopt House Resolution 940?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open. Ms. Currie, your seatmate's vote? Now, Mr. Friedrich, to explain your vote."
"Mr. Speaker and Members of the House, the suggestion or the implication has been made by the Sponsors of this Bill - and the proponents of it - that in the absence of our ... changing this rule, that the Appropriations Committee cannot go ahead and act and get the Bills out. They have the Majority. They know when the Bills can be called. They have the votes to get any Bill out they want. So, if the Bills aren't called and if the Appropriations Committee does not act, it's the fault of those who are in charge - the Chairman and the Majority Members on that Committee. We don't have to change the rules to get those Bills out."
"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question, there are 65 voting 'aye', 49 voting 'no', none voting 'present'.

Clerk April 15, 1986 "On this question, there are 62 voting 'aye', 49 voting "no", none voting 'present', and the House does adopt House Resolution 940. On the Order of House... of Speaker's Table appears House Resolution 1064. Mr. Clerk?"
"House Resolution 1064, amends House Rule 34 of the rules of the House of Representatives. Rules Committee recommends 'be adopted'."
"And on that, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton."
"Thank you, ΜΓ. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This House Resolution would require the Legislative Reference Bureau to affix to the original of all Bills which it prepares, a stamp indicating whether or not a Bill creates or expands a state mandates. They currently right now place a stamp indicating a fiscal, judicial, a state debt impact, a pension impact or correctional budget and impact notes or land conveyance appraisals. This would simply add state mandates to the list for which they shall affix a stamp to all original Bills. Be happy to answer any questions. I would ask for the adoption of House Resolution 1064."
"The Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton, moves for the adoption of House Resolution 1064. And on that, is there any discussion? There being none, the question is, 'Shall the House adopt House Resolution 1064?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. Voting is now open. This is final action. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question, there are 105 voting 'aye, 5 voting 'no', 2 voting 'present'. And the House does adopt House Resolution 1064. Mr. Countryman, for what purpose do you seek recognition?
"Mr. Speaker, I'd ask leave of the Body to have House 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 Bill 2733... the posting requirements waived for that Bill. That Bill was posted last week, and I discussed it with the Chairman, Representative White, continuing it until this weekend. It was inadvertently left off the posting requirement. and I've cleared it with the Minority Spokesman and the Chairman of the Committee."
"Does the Gentleman have leave to waive the posting requirements for House Bill 2733, the Committee on Human Services? Is there leave? Leave and the use of the Attendance Roll Call. Yes, Mr. Matijevich? For what purpose do you seek recognition?"
"Only to remind the Rules Committee that we are meeting immediately after adjournment in Room 118 rather than 114. Room 118 immediately after... "
"But we are not yet... We are not yet ready to adjourn, though. I wanted to make that clear."
"No, I thought during the lull, I'd let them know."
"Yes. Thank you. On page six of the Calendar on the Speaker's Table, Consideration Postponed appears House Resolution 909. Mr. Clerk, read the Resolution."
"House Resolution 909, relates to Build Illinois Task Force Subcommittee. Executive Committee recommends 'be adopted'."
"And on that, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This House Resolution calls for a Special Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee to be established to hold monthly hearings on the progress of the Build Illinois Program spending, and also authorizes the task force to consist of four Members appointed by the Speaker and three appointed by the Minority Leader. Be happy to answer any questions and appreciate your support 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day of House Resolution 909." April 15, 1986
"The Gentleman from Cook has moved for the adoption of House Resolution 909. And on that, is there any debate? The Gentleman from DuPage, Mr. McCracken."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this Resolution and, you know, last year when we passed the Build Illinois Act, nobody went into it in the blind. It was agreed to by both sides of the aisle that there would be appropriations and authorizations far in excess of that actually available, and it was agreed as a political compromise to ease the deadlock that the Lieutenant Governor would be responsible for picking those programs which are part of the first year's process in this five year program. Now, this goes back on that agreement made last year. We all went into it knowing that the Lieutenant Governor was a Republican, we all went into it knowing that there were some risks involved in that. But that was the only way the compromise was reached. And now, the Gentleman would have us go back on that decision made jointly by both sides of the aisle, and create a Subcommittee which has a Democratic Majority and monitor and undoubtedly, disapprove of the appropriation process agreed to last year. It's nothing more than that, and I ask that everybody oppose this."
"The Gentleman from McLean, Mr. Ropp."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Sponsor yield, please?"
"He'll yield for questions. Proceed, Sir."
"Representative, in the wisdom of you and whoever else drafted this particular Bill, why was it not considered to allow one of the existing Committees, like State Government Administrative and Review Committee to do this kind of investigatory work?"
"Representative Ropp, that's exactly what the 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 Resolution does. It calls for a Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committees to be established, so...
"No... "
"It is using two of the current Committees that we now have, combining those two Committees and having a Subcommittee be appointed to work under their auspices."
"No, I mean... "
"So, Just using an existing Committee, the only difference is that we are doing the form of a Resolution so that all Members of the House can vote on it, and we're specifically saying that the... the Speaker and Minority Leader can appoint the Members rather than the Chairman of the Committees as would normally be done for Subcommittees."
"Well, I mean, why wasn't this subject just assigned to the State Government Administrative Reviews, let's say, by the Chairman of the Committee on Assignment?"
"Well, apparently, you being... Are you the Minority Spokesman on this Committee that you've mentioned twice now? And are you a little put out that you might not have a chance to be on this Subcommittee?"
"Well, absolutely."
"Well, I think if you talk to your Leader, perhaps he might appoint you to the Subcommittee, but that's certainly not a reason to vote against it, because you won't be on it."
"No, I guess the reason for this whole concern is that - and I think you even voted for it - when we got rid of so many of these Commissions, Subcommittees, et cetera."
"This is not a Commission. It's a Committee. It's a Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee."
"No. it's brand new. It's another entity. Even though it's a combination of two, it's still another entity of 23 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day the... " April 15, 1986
"Any Subcommittee is another entity. It doesn't cost any extra money."
"Well, the question though is, why don't we do it with something that's already existing rather than to set up a new one?"
"Well, I imagine it was just done out of deference to the interest of the Minority so that they could appoint... the Leaders could appoint the Members of the Committee. I... I don't understand why you could be upset about the fact that we're creating a Subcommittee through Resolution as opposed to having the Committee vote to create a Subcommittee. What difference does it make?"
"No. The primary concern when we got rid of all of the other Commissions that we had was that we would allow the existing Committees to function as they were originally set up for, to deal with these kinds of matters. Now here, we're superceding that original intent, when we got rid of all the Commissions and all the special study groups. That's my concern."
"Well, Representative Ropp, let me respond. I think that the old ploy of using the buzz word 'Commissions' every time you can to try to defeat something is not... is a little passe. I think you know and I know that this is not a Commission. It's not being set up with any appropriation. The reason why we have to do it in this manner, I would suggest, is that since Build Illinois, the subject matter of Build Illinois deals with both Appropriations Committees, that would be inappropriate to have a Subcommittee of just one. It would be inappropriate to have two Subcommittees. And so, this Resolution simply says that we combine the two Committees, they form a Subcommittee to monthly meet and monitor the Build Illinois 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day spending program. That's all it does." April 15, 1986
"In other words, you're introducing a do-nothing kind of a thing?"
"Well, it certainly isn't a do-nothing. We're just using a different procedural matter, as opposed to having a Committee Chairman appoint a Subcommittee. The reason why we're having a different procedure is because the nature of the problem is different. It deals with an appropriation process that covers both Appropriations Committees together. You suggest that we... that we have a Subcommittee made up of some Committee that you happen to be the Minority Spokesman on. Well, maybe that Committee is not the most appropriate Committee to deal with the suject matter of appropriations. The Appropriations Committees are, and that's why we're doing it in this fashion."
"Okay. Thank you."
"The Gentleman from Marion, Mr. Friedrich."
"Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Indicates he'll yield for questions."
"Houldn't these projects that we're talking about... expenditures that we're talking about, most of them be done after January, 1987... or after January 1, 1987?"
"I don't know the answer to that."
"Well, I suggest that they will be, and between now and then, we're going to have an election. Now, in the past, the Governor's had a great deal to do with letting money be free for various projects, and I suspect that after January, no matter what you do here, the Governor will still have a great deal of discretion. We've got an election coming up, and I suggest that if Mr. Stevenson gets elected, as some of you suggest, then he'll have a lot of discretion. I wouldn't want you to take that away from 25 STATE OF ILLINOIS 84th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 101st Legislative Day April 15, 1986 him."
"Further discussion? There being none, the Gentleman from Cook, Mr. Cullerton, to close."
"Yes, I just thought I would clarify or at least state my opinion with regard to one of the previous comments made by one of the other Representatives. I don't recall any type of a legislative agreement that the Governor would appoint a Build Illinois team headed by Lieutenant Governor Ryan to review these projects and make recommendations. That was not part of any negotiations or agreement at the time that we voted on the Build Illinois project. That was done after the Bill was passed by the Governor, and he appointed his Siamese twin, George Ryan, to head up a Committee if... So, I don't think that... First of all, I don't think we're even contradicting the efforts of Lieutenant Governor Ryan, but certainly we're not abrogating it, and we're not going back on any deal. Secondly, it just makes sense that we not set up a new Commission, but rather have a Subcommittee of the two Appropriations Committees that we have in the House right now to hold monthly hearings just to monitor the progress of the Build Illinois Program. What this Resolution says is that we should have input from the public as to where we should spend our state dollars. What is wrong with having the public have a say in where we should spend the money? What is wrong with having an oversight on behalf of the General Assembly on a monthly basis as to the progress of where we're spending our Build Illinois money. I think it shouldn't even be a noncontroversial measure and ask for your support."
"The question is, 'Shall the House adopt House Resolution 909?' All those in favor signify by voting 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'.
