"Well, number one, Mr. Speaker, I don't know how you can table an Amendment that hasn't even been adopted. I think we should just do a Roll Call on Amendment #18. It deals with small business revolving loans, that's not even GRF, that's money that has been paid back to the revolving loan program, so that we can make future loans to small businesses throughout this whole state. We've allocated two million for minority enterprises, three million for rural enterprises. We need...I think we need to restore this. This is not even a GRF.

If the staff would retire to the rear of the chamber. Speaker Redmond, if you could find a place to be seated. Why don't you use Mr. Daniels chair. So, if the Members could be in their chairs. We're very pleased to have with us today, Mr. Ray Mengay, who has recently been appointed as the British Counsel General in Chicago. Mr. Mengay is a graduate of St. Catherine's College in Cambridge. He did his postgraduate work at London University in public administration. During his career he has served as the British Counsel to Milan, Italy. He also served as the counselor at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., where he served for five years in the areas of the gap agreement, export controls and antitrust jurisdictional issues. From 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 1986 until his current appointment, he was in charge of the Regional Development and Inward Investment Division at the government in London. From that position he came to Chicago as the Counsel General. He has agreed to join us today. He has a few remarks to offer to our Members. So, if you could give him your attention. Mr. Mengay."
"Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. It's an honor, a privilege and a pleasure to address this distinguished House. The symbolism of doing so in the heart of America in the Land of Lincoln and under the Constitution, is not lost on me. And the invitation is evidence of the hand of friendship which this part of America, in particular, extends to strangers. I was relieved in the preparation of this...these few remarks, to be advised that Speaker...that Colonel McCormick's prohibition on the use of English and speaking American did not apply to this occasion. I could use my own language and I'm therefore doing so. I have also had the difficulty of maintaining my concentration for these remarks, after partying or 'bipartisaning' by the lake last night and after dinner at Sam's Bar, but at least I go away from Springfield with a very wide and close appreciation of the process here. It's all of a piece with the warm welcome which I've received since arriving and my wife and I likewise in Chicago. We value the diversity and richness of the fine state in which we find ourselves living, even though it's difficult to get use to our ten year old English daughter in the back of the car singing Illinois, Illinois, in a strong Chicago accent. Colonel McCormick would have been proud of her. But within the diversity of its ethnic traditions, the links between Illinois and Britain have been and remain strong. There may have only been twelve brief years between the Indian/Franco/British 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 Wars of 16...1764 and the Revolution, a brief period of British governance in this area, but they do remain deep. You have not only the montesquieu and the constitutional situation that's derived from that, but I've been impressed to learn that Blackstone, the distinguished English lawyer, is still very much imbedded in the legal tradition of this area. Our peoples have shared together the turmoils of the century and now face exciting challenges, some rather worrying perhaps, to the East and to the West in the world. Our citizens increasingly visit with each other and I'm glad to see that the air traffic between Chicago and Britain is rising, evidence that there is an appreciation of the attractions of Illinois for our citizens. Our trade has always been substantial and never more so than today. We take in Britain nearly eight percent of Illinois' exports. We take around a quarter of your exports to the European community, and of course there's a flow, almost a torrential flow of investment now. We have some sixty billion dollars worth of American investment in Britain, nearly a third of your investment in the European community and we value that. In the last few years our investment flow is increased in this direction. Of course we now have some ninety billion dollars worth of investment in the United States. That shows great confidence in your nation. We put three percent, almost three percent of our G.D.P. in your hands last year. The published sources suggest that some hundred and twenty-nine Illinois companies are operating in the U.K. My office is closer to the ground than these published sources and we reckon we have contact with some two hundred and four Illinois companies who are operating within...with in a genuine invested sense in the U.K. And of course of the nine hundred and ninety-six European companies that operate here, two hundred and 13 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 twenty-two are British in Illinois. We don't see this investment as a win/lose phenomenon. We don't see that we're exporting British jobs and we don't fear that you are going to dominate the British economy. We see as a win/win, a benefit on both sides. We see it as the interaction between two similar economic systems and it works as a pendulum, sometimes you have more, sometimes we have less. Last year for example, your U.S. trade balance moved into a positive position, we moved negative to you. In Europe, of course, when I embarked on an exciting journey to 1992 and the U.K. is committed to that journey, we intend that it should be a Europe open for business and not suffocated by regulation. We are also committed to the expansion of those benefits by sharing them with our trading partners, not least the U.S, and it's a large part of my time I spend encouraging Illinois companies to take the opportunity that's offered by 1992. That's why we're committed to the removal of impediments to trade and investments and to resistance to new measures. We want a free flow. And that's why it's a matter of regret and tragedy when sometimes there are investment regulations of one kind or another that destroy jobs. We intend, therefore, to enter the 21st century with even closer ties to the heartland and to the Land of Lincoln. As I began by saying, I will end by emphasizing that the richness of this interaction is not entirely and solely economic, important though that is. There is a cultural and intellectual exchange. It's my privilege and excitement to serve on the Committee of the Marshal Scholar selection in the midwest each year, and meet the very fine people who come forward from the colleges of this area seeking a year or so studying in Britain. It is cultural, intellectual, it's political and personal. All of these are vital links and 14 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 with my office, my colleagues, I intend to work hard with the exciting privilege that I have here to sustain and develop those links in the coming years. Thank you."

Amendment #22 transferred...transfers 5.25 15 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 million GRL into the Illinois Housing Trust Fund. This is basically needed to...for operating costs and start up costs. I move for its adoption. Thank you."
"Representative Mays."
"Would the Gentleman yield for a question?"
"Yes, he will."
"We have five million, two hundred and fifty...two hundred and fifty thousand dollars that you are proposing to transfer or put into this fund. Where's that coming from?"
"General Revenue."
"How do you propose to raise those General Revenue Fund dollars?"
"Through cuts that are going to be made in other areas and in natural growth."
"Well, to the Amendment, Ladies and Gentlemen. Now the person's goal may or may not be laudable, but in terms of budget, well, I don't think this General Assembly has still addressed the thought of the Cigarette Tax and whether or not we are going to be able fund science and technology problems, drug enforcement and education issues in this state. We had Amendments in the Executive Committee this morning that totaled over ninety million dollars in add-ons and here's another five...five and a quarter million for this specific program. At the same time, you're cutting ten million dollars in small business revolving...revolving loan funds, because you refuse to vote with us on that Motion to table. Those were not even GRF Funds, those were funds that had been paid back to the state, for loans to backout to small and large businesses throughout this state. I rise in opposition to this Amendment. I don't know where we'd come up with the money for it, especially in view of all the other spending proposals that have been advanced on the other side. I'd like a Roll Call." 16 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989
"On the Motion, Mr. Hallock."
"Thank you. Will the Sponsor yield?"
"Yes."
"Yes, I'll yield."
"This is an affordable housing funding proposal. Is this tied into the transfer tax, or how is this funded?"
"No. It's not tied into the transfer tax. This funding was requested by DCCA in order to implement the operating cost to start up the program. This was requested by DCCA themselves."
"Well, when we talk about affordable housing, are you talking about low income housing or precisely, do you have a definition of the term?"
"Low and very low income housing."
"Well, in order to build that type of housing through this proposal, your not basing it on a transfer tax or any other tax, your basically taking money from the General Revenue Fund?"
"This is money that is in addition to the transfer tax, Representative Hallock."
"Well, as I understand it, that transfer tax at this point in time is still just a theory. It's a Bill that passed the House, but may not pass the Senate. In any case, it's...doubling that tax is just a possibility, not in fact something that's happened already. I would say that...one more question, that you know, if you're not using that money, and this money is basically coming from the General Revenue Fund then?"
"Mr. Speaker, can we have some order in the House. I...I..."
"Yeah. Let's give...Let's give them please..."
"...can't even hear Representative Hallock at all. I didn't hear it, that's why I'm asking for order." 17 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989
"Please, give the Gentleman some order, please."
"I'd like to find out precisely where this money is coming from. You know, we passed a Bill which proposed to double the real estate transfer tax. That Bill did pass the House and obviously its status is up in the air right now. It may not pass the Senate, it may not become law. And so, dealing with what we currently have right now, which is our current situation, you know, where does the money come from to fund this Amendment?"
"Well, it will come from natural growth from General Revenue Funds. Thirteen million dollars which would come from the transfer tax if it becomes law, is not enough to build adequate housing for low and very low income people in this state. If DCCA needs almost five million dollars in order to start the program, if you were to take five million from the thirteen million, then you would only have eight million in order to build some housing in the state, and this is why this money is needed.
"Well, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House, I rise in opposition to the Amendment. The Sponsor has indicated very precisely that he wants to take this from the growth in the economy and I think we're all pleased that in fact that Illinois' economy isdoing so very well. On the other hand we also agree we have far more greater needs at this point in time, like education, mental health and so on. Those budgets themselves are not yet ascertained. I think before we decide to do something on affordable housing, it's more imperative that we deal with those issues first and I would urge this be adop..this Amendment be defeated."
"Representative Kirkland."
"Will the Sponsor yield, please?"
"Yes, he will."
"Just to clarify. This is a one-time start up cost and 18 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 you would not expect this kind of appropriation to be repeated from year to year?"
"That is correct, Representative. This is a one-time cost, start up cost."
"Fine. Thank you."
"Mr. Bowman."
"I rise in support of the Gentleman's Amendment. The policy of the House Appropriations Committees this year, is to attempt to in balancing the budget, to provide accommodations for all proposed legislation that is working its way through the Legislature. I believe that we need to leave room in the budget and I would like to assure the Gentlemen from the other side of the aisle, that the money for this comes from savings that we were able to make in other parts of the budget by trimming the fat. And so, he need not be concerned that we will wind up passing an unbalanced budget, because we will not. I urge adoption of this Amendment."

"The only one that...that can withstand an audit there. And I think this should be rewarded, as we have funded them in the past. I would ask for your favorable support."
"Thank you, very..."
"Representative Stephens, on the Amendment." 20 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989
"Just to say I oppose the Amendment."
"Question is, 'Shall Amendment 24 be adopted?' All in favor say 'aye', opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it and the Amendment's adopted. Amendment #...Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #25, offered by Representative Bowman."
"Mr. Bowman."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. In considering this Bill in Committee, approximately two million dollars was taken out of one line and split and this is one million dollars which will be spent for the Emergency Employment Development Act which was created by Public Act 84-792, and is the duplicate of the amount contained in Floor Amendment #3, with the exception that what we're doing in this Amendment is identifying three cities for pilot projects. We are proposing to spend about three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a piece in Chicago, East St. Louis and Cairo. I move adoption of the Amendment."
"On the Amendment, Mr. Mays."
"Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker. Will the Gentleman yield for a question?"
"Yes, he will."
"Yeah. Representative Bowman, are there any other high unemployment areas in the state other than the three to which you allocate the total dollars for this program?"
"Of course there are, Representative Mays. You know the answer to that question as well as I do."
"Well, then that...then let me just stress to this Amendment. If you're going to add the dollars, why are you going to restrict it to this...these three areas, when there's other areas that may well have the same kind of 21 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 problems that these areas got and you're leaving them with not a dime. Not a dime. It doesn't make any sense. I am shocked that you would take a program like this, which was passed to be a state-wide program and then allocate dollars specifically to these three areas. I'd like a Roll Call, Mr. Speaker, on this Bill. I oppose it. On this Amendment, I oppose it."
"Representative Keane. Representative Jim Keane. Mr. Keane within hearing distance, if he would approach the Chair. Representative Bowman, have you closed on this?"
"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I'd like to respond to the last speaker, because in fact over several years we have appropriated money on a state-wide basis and the Governor has vetoed it out every time. And what we are proposing here, is three pilot programs and so if the Governor vetoes it this time, he's going to have to go to the citizens in those areas and explain to them, look them in the eye and tell them why the answer is 'no'. But we have tried it your way before and your way has failed in the past. We're going to try a different way this time, in the hopes that the Governor will finally see the light and sign the appropriation. I urge an 'aye' vote."
"Question is, 'Shall Amendment #25 be adopted?' All in favor vote 'aye', opposed vote 'no'. Have all voted? Have all voted who wish? Clerk, will take the record. On this Amendment there are 62 'ayes' and 52 'nos'. The Amendment's adopted. Representative Giglio, in the Chair."
"Are there further Amendments, Mr. Clerk?"
"Floor Amendment #26, offered by Representative Ryder." 22 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 Right now there is an incubator there which has been in existence for two years, and under the rules of the Small Business Act, that would be the last year of funding. This incubator has been responsible for establishing some twenty businesses and more than thirty jobs have been created as a result of this very successful project. And the purpose of this Amendment is to add another years funding so that this very valuable work can be continued. And I move for the adoption of the Amendment."
"Gentleman from Adams, Representative Mays."
"Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker. I simply rise in opposition to this Amendment. It's a hundred thousand in general funds for the establishment...or the operations of this incubator. I'm sure there's incubators throughout the state that could use these kind of monies anyway, and I just don't think we should be going into this at this time. So I would urge a 'no'...'no' vote."
"All those in favor of the Amendment say 'yes', those opposed 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair the 'nos' have it, the Amendment's defeated. Representative...Mr. Clerk, are there any further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #29, offered by Representative Leverenz."
"Withdraw Amendment #29. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #30, offered by Representative Phelps."
"Representative Phelps. Withdraw Amendment #30. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #31, offered by Representative Phelps."
"Representative Phelps. Withdraw Amendment #31. Further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #32, offered by Representative 24 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 Phelps."
"Representative Phelps."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Thirty-two Amendment appropriates two hundred thousand to the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs Tourism Promotion Fund, for the purpose of tourism attraction."
"Representative Mays."
"Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker. I understand the Department is acceptable to this Amendment. I'd simply point out that Amendment #18 would have added some funds for the Department for state-wide promotion and tourism development. This adds two hundred thousand for local and we're fine with it. We'd like you to reconsider on the other one."
"All those in favor of the Amendment say 'aye', opposed 'nay'. In the opinion of the Chair the 'ayes' have it. The Amendment's adopted. Are there further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #33, offered by Representative Leverenz and Currie."
"Representative Leverenz. Withdraw Amendment #33. 34. Withdraw Amendment #34, Mr. Clerk. Amendment #35."
"Amendment #35, offered by Representative Woodyard...Woolard and Leverenz."
"Amendment #35. Representative Woodward (sic - Woolard)."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Amendment #35 would appropriate five hundred thousand or the amount necessary to accommodate the project. This would be a Tourism Promotion Fund Project for the City of Herrin. An outdoor recreation facility. Move for a favorable comment." 25 53rd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE June 7, 1989
"The Lady from Kane, Representative Deuchler."
"Mr. Speaker, is this Amendment printed and distributed?"
"Yes, it has."
"Thank you."
"Clerk informs me it has been distributed. Representative Mays."
"Well, I rise in opposition to this Amendment. We went ahead and went along with the previous Amendment on Representative Phelps, because he had gone to the Department, he had helped draft the Amendment. It's for tourism promotion in general for local grants to locals. This is one specific city that would be the beneficiary of two and a half times the amount of money that the previous Representative asked for in his Amendment. As I said in that Amendment, we had cut almost two point one million dollars from the State Department of Commerce and Community Affairs for the promotion of this state, promotion of all of the assets throughout the whole state and now we're coming back and nickel-diming down that fund, adding back for specific towns in this whole...in this state. A specific town would get a half million dollars out of this Amendment. That is a quarter of the total amount that we cut from the Department for state-wide promotion. I don't see how the city would be able to spend this money in a wise and prudent manner. I don't think it's a good precedent to set and I would urge a 'no' vote and ask for a Roll Call."
"Representative Leverenz."
"I thank you, Mr. Speaker. With all due respect to the previous speaker who generally has a number of good ideas in what we can work with, it's the Governor that does not check with us in our districts before they prepare a budget 26 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 to begin with. And it is brought to us to look at and to approve and to refashion so that we take care of the constituencies that we serve. I ask for your help in the adoption of Amendment 35, a well thought out program."
"All those in favor of the Amendment vote 'aye', opposed 'no'. The voting is open. 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 62 voting 'yes', 52 voting 'no' and the Amendment's adopted. Are there further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #36, offered by Representative Dunn."
"Representative Dunn."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Floor Amendment #36 adds two hundred thousand dollars to the ordinary and contingent expense budget for the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs to fund a division of defense contract procurement, so we can go after more defense business from Washington to help the business and industry in the State of Illinois. This Amendment was brought to me by DCCA and I know of no opposition. I ask for its adoption."
"Representative Mays."
"Will the Gentleman yield for a question?"
"He indicates he will."
"Where did you come up with the two hundred thousand figure? What's that going to buy the people of the State of Illinois?"
"Hopefully, a whole lot of business. The...DCCA came up with the figure."
"What are we going to get with that? Are we going to..ten...ten employees, a lot of travels and contractuals and other stuff?" 27 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989
"Well, bear in mind that the underlying Bill really is a pilot program and it's based upon the concept that we are about forty-fifth among the fifty states now, in return of defense contract dollars. So, whatever we're trying now, isn't working. It's time to try a new thrust and by establishing a specific division of defense contract procurement, hopefully we can...we can bring home some business. Whether this Amendment will be reduced some when the Bill comes back from Senate or not, I don't know, but the amount of the Amendment, two hundred thousand dollars, was at the suggestion of DCCA."
"Okay. To the Amendment. I rise in opposition to the Amendment. If you'd look back as you've gone through this Bill, there was an Amendment #13, which would have added fifty-six thousand dollars to the small business group to help promote small business, so that they can have acquisition, so they can get involved in procurement contracts. We voted...we didn't even do that one. Now this is two hundred thousand dollars more. It's a laudable program, but maybe we ought to think about going with a new Senator who can bring money back to this district and to this state in this particular area. I would urge a 'no' vote and ask for a Roll Call."
"All those in favor of the Amendment vote 'aye', opposed 'nay'. The voting is open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this question there's 65 voting 'yes', 50 voting 'no' and none voting 'present' and the Amendment's adopted. Are there further Amendments?"
"Floor Amendment #37, offered by Representative Turner."
"Representative Turner, Amendment #37."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the 28 STATE OF ILLINOIS 86th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 53rd Legislative Day June 7, 1989 Assembly. I've been informed that Amendment #37 is out of order, since we adopted Amendment #22. And so I move that we withdraw Amendment #37."
"Withdraw Amendment #37. Are there further Amendments?"
"No further Amendments."
"Third Reading. Mr. Clerk, has this been read a third time?"
"The Bill has not been read a third time."
"Read the Bill, Mr. Clerk."
"House Bill 850, a Bill for an Act making appropriations and reappropriations to various agencies. Third Reading of the Bill."
"Representative Mays."
"Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. This is the operating budget for the Department of Commerce and Community Affairs. It's deficient in several areas that we highlighted through the Amendment process. We wish the Department could have been restored in some of those specific areas, but we have to move this Bill through the process. Let the Senate take up these same issues and maybe improve our handiwork. I would move for its passage."
"You heard the Gentleman's Motion. Any discussion? Hearing none, all those in favor of House Bill 850 vote 'aye', those opposed 'nay'. The voting is 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 117 voting 'yes', none voting 'no' and none voting 'present'. House Bill 850 having received the required Constitutional Majority, is hereby declared passed. Mr. Clerk, Agreed Resolutions."
