We have one other young lady that was unable to be with us today. She had some tests to do in a hospital, and we were wishing that she could be with us, but she is not. Our wishes go with her.

Daniels. Daniels: "Mr. April 1, 1992 Leader... Minority Leader Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Today we have a distinct pleasure in presenting to the House the Republican candidate for the election of the position of Assistant Clerk. As you all know, a very close friend and fine public servant, Tony Leone, retired as the Assistant Clerk and soon will join the staff of Secretary of State George Ryan in the Index Division, thereby leaving a vacancy in that post. Yesterday by Caucus the Republicans met and nominated their candidate which, as you know, according to Rule 1 of the House Rules is subject to vote by the Illinois House of Representatives. Their candidate, Terrance McLennand to replace Tony Leone as our candidate for Assistant Clerk of the Illinois House. Terry McLennand currently lives in Bloomingdale, Illinois, with his wife Jennifer, daughter Michaela and son Christopher who are with us today, and they're in the gallery. Perhaps I can see she's operating the camera there... Jennifer is up there, camera Lady, Jennifer. All wave to Jennifer. I guess she needs it on the camera. Hi, Jennifer, and Michaela, little Michaela and Christopher. Where are you, Christopher? He's somewhere up here. And Terry's father, Mr. McLennand, is up in the gallery as well, are with us today. In the well is our candidate for Assistant Clerk, Terry McLennand. Terry, if you'll wave your hand to everybody here. Terry has been on the House Republican staff for several years now and has worked in the legislative process and recently completing (sic completed)his assignment on the policy staff. So he comes to all of us with a knowledge of the legislative process, and, hopefully, a beginning and working knowledge of the 5 122nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 1, 1992 Clerk's Office which through the good graces of our friend Jack O'Brien, he has graciously consented to work very closely and assist Terry in learning this most important function, which, Jack, we all know will take years to learn the knowledge that you have, but we appreciate your cooperation. So, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, in accordance with Rule 1, I would move that Terrance McLennand be elected the Assistant Clerk of the Illinois House of Representatives, and I would ask, Mr. Speaker, if that could be done by unanimous vote and with leave of the House and that would be my Motion. And I think Mr. Ryder would offer a second to that Motion. Is that correct, Mr. Ryder?"
"Surprising second there. The Gentleman asks leave to use the Attendance Roll Call. Is there leave? Leave granted, and the Attendance Roll Call will be used. Congratulations, and would you like to say a few words?"
"Just thank you all very much, and I look forward to serving the Members of the Illinois House. Thank you."
"Congratulations from all of us. Mr. Clerk, House Resolutions."

"Representative Kirkland, for what purpose do you rise?"
"As I said, this may be a record, but I move for leave of the Body to table House Bill 3167, please."
"The Gentleman asks leave. Leave the table House Bill 3167 which was just read and introduced. Is there leave? Leave by use of the Attendance Roll Call, and congratulations, it's a record that will probably last a 8 122nd Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE April 1, 1992 long time. We will go to Representative Saltsman, on House Resolution 1.700. Read the motion. Read the Motion, Mr. Clerk, read the Motion,"
"The motion, 'Pursuant to Rule 43(a), I move to bypass committee and place House Resolution 1700 on the Speaker's Table for immediate consideration. The Resolution has been produced and distributed on the Members' desks. Signed, Representative Saltsman.'"
"Representative Saltsman."
"Yes, Mr. Speaker, the reason that I am asking to bypass committee (sic is) because when we meet Tuesday it'll be too late to make this recommendation. I'm asking to bypass committee today that we could send a message to the two parties involved in this strike, asking them to go to mediation. We're begging them to go to mediation, and we want them to know that that is the only way this program is going to be settled. If not, there is going to be a tremendous amount of trouble in the 91st, 92nd, 93rd and 94th Districts in our area. And maybe this message to both labor and management can get them back to the bargaining table."
"On the motion, Representative Wennlund."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Caterpillar, and its attendant unions have been engaged in negotiations for a period of five months. There is no urgency to have such a Resolution pushed through this House of Representatives without a full hearing before committee. To engage in this type of tactics, to get involved in negotiations between the United Auto Workers and Caterpillar Tractor Company and that is totally wrong for this General Assembly to do at this point in time. Caterpillar and its unions will continue to negotiate. 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 122nd Legislative Day April 1, 1992 Whether or not one side is right and one side is wrong is not for this General Assembly to decide, and this General Assembly doesn't need to get involved in every strike that takes place in the State of Illinois or every union negotiation and labor negotiation that takes place in state. It's time that we stop and take a look at this situation because this is a reaction and not a positive look at the whole situation. This committee should not be bypassed; there should be a full and complete hearing, so that representatives from Caterpillar Tractor could testify before the committee; representatives of the United Auto Workers could testify. It would have a full and fair hearing. I ask for a Roll Call vote, Mr. Speaker. This is not the time to bring this matter up before the General Assembly without a full and fair hearing before the appropriate committee. I request a Roll Call vote on this issue."
"Representative Daniels, do you wish to speak on it, Representative Daniels?"
"Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. The prior speaker stated it eloquent (sic eloquently), as you know. This is a very volatile issue that involves business and labor in this state, and we should respect, of course, the respective rights of the parties that are involved here. And the Illinois General Assembly on House Resolution 1700 should not involve itself at this time. In particular, a Resolution that's brought up at the closing moments of today's Session, and therefore, I want to reiterate the call of the prior speaker for a Roll Call vote, and if, per chance, and we could tell by viewing the General Assembly that there are not enough votes to pass this, but if some way that it were to happen we would ask 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 122nd Legislative Day for April 1, 1992 a verification of the Roll Call, I believe this takes 71 votes, does it not?" Representative Matijevich."
"That's correct.
"Mr. Speaker, on the issue of why should We do it today, the company has issued a formal announcement or ultimatum if you will, that they are going to, I believe April 6th. Is that the date, Representative Saltsman? April 6th, they are going to hire permanent replacement workers. What this means is that we as a legislative Body are telling them rather than that ultimatum, that we feel they ought to go to mediation, that this strike can be resolved. I think we've got a part to play in this. I think we've done some benefits to Caterpillar. I know the local communities have done some benefits to Caterpillar. They're a public body. We've all helped Caterpillar, and now I think it's in the best judgment of Caterpillar to do what's best for the people of the State of Illinois. The fact of the matter is that this Resolution, and even a vote on this procedural matter, is on a vote whether you're for strikebreakers or not. That's really what this Bill, this vote, is all about. I think the public, the American public, feels that the best can be done when a company and a union negotiate rather than have an ultimatum. Now what Caterpillar did was take advantage of their (sic its) own employees. Caterpillar used their (sic its) good employees, employees that worked hard for their families and built up a surplus of products. And then during these recessionary times, they're telling their own employees 'Go to Hell.' That's what Caterpillar is still doing to their good employees, to their good families. I don't think you have to be from the Peoria area to say that you don't like that. I think that you ought to be from anywhere in the 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 122nd Legislative Day April 1, 1992 State of Illinois and say that you're opposed to that. I don't think anybody ought to be for an ultimatum like that. So I urge the Membership, Democrats and Republicans, both sides of the aisle, to cast their vote against strikebreakers, and vote for this Motion."
"Representative Saltsman, to close."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe also what Representative Wennlund and Representative Daniels said earlier that we can't stick our nose into every strike or every union dispute there is, and normally we don't, but Representative Wennlund, I just got this letter about three hours ago, and we're not going to be back in Session. This is not cramming somebody down their throat. Caterpillar just sent me this letter about three hours ago. We never had time for any of this. This is no mandate. We can't force them to do anything. All it's asking them to do is go back to the table. Go to mediation. Bring in a mediator who solved the Pittsdon Coal strike, who solved the Mack Truck Co. strike, who solved the big strikes in our big major cities. Bring in a mediator and sit down at the table. That's all it's asking them to do. Our advice is...I get many calls, 'What the hell is the State Legislature doing to help us people?' I'm getting it from wives of striking employees; I'm getting it from management people; 'What are you guys doing?' Well, right up 'til now we haven't been able to do anything, and at this time all we can do is ask. This isn't telling anybody to do anything. And if you're against mediation, if we're not going to both sides, this is asking the union and the management, 'Go back to mediation, put our people back to work, get yourselves back together.' It's the Cadillac of the industry, their business right now is hurting because 12 STATE OF ILLINOIS 87th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 122nd Legislative Day April 1, 1992 of this strike. The men want to go back to work, the company wants them back to work, the only way they're gonna go back is mediation. This supports mediation. This supports what the families of the 91st, 92nd, 93rd and 94th Districts want. This supports it. I ask for your vote that this be discharged from committee."
"Those in favor of the Motion vote 'aye', those opposed vote 'no'. To explain his vote, Representative Wennlund."
"Thank you. Request a verification if this receives the appropriate number of votes."
"We've already heard that. Representative Leitch."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I wish very much that I could have been included in writing this Resolution because I certainly join Representative Saltsman in the spirit of trying to bring the parties back and trying to bring an end to this most tragic strike. Unfortunately, there's language in here that...about permanent strikebreakers and other issues. It's written exclusively, I think, from a union position. And while I totally favor the re-negotiations, I totally favor mediation, I think it's pretty strongly worded, and I have to oppose the Motion."
"Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish? Mr. Clerk, take the record. On this Motion there are 62 voting 'aye', 36 voting 'no', and the Motion fails. Agreed Resolutions. Representative Matijevich, on the Agreed Resolutions. Mr. Clerk, read the Bill."
