"Representative Churchill, could we have a little order, please. Please, give the Gentleman a little attention. Mr. Churchill."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. Since 1881, people have turned to the American Red Cross to help them prevent, prepare for, and respond to emergencies. Nearly 1.5 million volunteers across this country provide community disaster preparedness and relief, 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 105th Legislative Day March 23, 1994 safety in health training, flood services, and services to military personnel and their families around the clock, 365 days a year. Last spring and summer, Red Cross answered the cry for help from more than 78,000 flood victims in the midwest. Making sure that they had food to eat, clothes to wear, a place to stay, and help with building a recovery plan for the future. In Illinois alone, Red Cross disaster workers assisted more than 26,000 victims in affected communities, by opening more than 85 shelters to house over 7,200 flood victims, serving nearly 2.3 million meals to victims and disaster workers. Opening 44 service centers for Red Cross case workers to meet one on one with victims to determine their disaster cause needs; providing more than 2,600 flood victims with Mental Health counseling and support. To help them cope with the devastation of the floods, and by sending more than 10,880 Illinois disaster workers on site to assist in the flood efforts. Now, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House, first of all, I would request that all of our House Members be included as Co-Sponsors of this Resolution; and second, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House if I could ask you please, would you join me in welcoming the staff and volunteers of the Red Cross who are in our gallery today. Thank you."
"Mr. Tenhouse, on the Resolution."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I rise in support of this Resolution. For those of us who spent time this summer with the flood, it's absolutely incredible the work where the volunteers and the staff of the American Red Cross, and I think probably the story that comes to mind on July the 26th after the Sny levy broke, standing out on the edge of the approach to the interstate highway there as the water came up and we lost 5 105th Legislative Day STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE March 23, 1994 44,000 acres of farm land and 2,000 people lost their homes and their way of life. One of the people pulled up there in an old pickup truck, and he had everything he owned loaded in the back of that truck. He had about three dozen ears of sweet corn laying in the back and he said to me that's all I have, he shucked the sweet corn before he pulled out of his farm home, and he wanted to share it with us, and he thanked us for the help that had taken place, and I think it says a lot about the people who were involved, and unfortunately, we saw some of the worse things come out in people and often times throughout the year, but I think in view of the catastrophe that happened we saw some of the best things come out in people, and the American Red Cross used that. Just in the Quincy area alone, they served over 300,000 meals; 300,000 meals just in the Quincy area. They housed over 1,800 people, 1,800 people were put up by the Red Cross and helped through this time of need. And I just want to say that those of us in Western Illinois are very, very, very proud of what they did, and we just hope that we can help someone else when the time comes in the future."
"Representative Hartke. All right, Mr. Churchill asked that all Members be added as Co-Sponsors of the Resolution. The question is, 'Shall House Resolution 2136 be adopted?' All in favor say 'aye'; opposed, 'no', the 'ayes' have it and the Resolution is adopted. Representative Schakowsky."

H. Caldwell, and extend our most sincere sympathy to his family and friends; and be it further RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this preamble and resolution be presented to his widow, Callie Caldwell, and to his daughters, Barbara and Phyllis.
"Representative Morrow."
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. I had the honor to know Lewis Caldwell as a very young man, who I would, with Raymond Ewell, Eugene Barr, and Lewis Caldwell probably consider him to be one of my mentors as giving me my first chance to come down here as a page. Lewis Caldwell was a man of great pride, great honor. He was one of the founding members of the Black Caucus and we mourn his death. He was a man amongst men, and he, at the time when he served in the 70's many of the Members of the Black Caucus had to take a lot to serve down here. But, they took it so that Members of this caucus and Members like myself don't have to take it, and I'm indeed 8 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 105th Legislative Day March 23, 1994 saddened that Lewis Caldwell has passed."
"Representative Currie."
"Thank you, Speaker and Members of the House. Lewis A.H. Caldwell was indeed a gentleman and a scholar. He graduated with both a bachelors and Masters degree from Northwestern University at a time when few African-American males or females were part of that institution. He served with distinction in this body from 1966-1979. One of my favorite stories about Lewis A.H. Caldwell was the reason for his opposition to the State Monopoly Lottery. He voted against that Bill in 1975, and he did so because he saw the Lottery, Monopoly Lottery as a way of undercutting entrepreneurship in minority communities. He saw what was going on with the policy game, with the numbers game in Englewood and other communities across the City of Chicago, and he said, 'Aren't we better off if people are out there applying their own wares, rather than becoming subservient to a state Monopoly proposition.' He opposed the lottery, but after he left this Body he continued his works toward economic development in minority communities in the City of Chicago. He was an active force in the Cosmopolitan Chamber of Commerce, an interracial group focused on economic development in our communities. His columns that reached many young and older business people across the City of Chicago were helpful in setting many people onto careers as business people as well as worthwhile workers. He was an important person to this institution. He was an important person in the City of Chicago, and particularly to the minority communities he worked so hard to develop. We will miss him. His friends, his family will miss him. Speaker, I move that all Members of the House be added as Co-Sponsors of this Resolution and I move its adoption." 9 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 105th Legislative Day
"Thank you. Representative Dunn." March 23, 1994
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Ladies and Gentlemen of the House. One of the charms of this chamber is the opportunity to meet people you might not otherwise have met. Twenty years ago when I came here as a freshman Representative and looked around the crowded chamber with all the newcomers and their relatives and the veterans and claiming seats during the time we were going to sit temporarily while we were electing a speaker I saw only one empty seat. I suspect each of us has gone through that as a freshman. It seems all the seats are taken so I sat down, and it was my good fortune to sit down next to Lewis A.H. Caldwell. We took three and a half weeks that time and 93 ballots to elect Bill Redmond as Speaker of this House, and during that period of time I learned to enjoy Lou Caldwell and the gentleman sitting on the other side of him, the man named Harold Washington. So, I asked Harold and Lou if they would mind if I would sit with them for that term, and they said certainly, and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my life, because they both were outstanding gentlemen. We all know about Harold Washington, but Lou was a man of great character. He was an articulate man, and it has been pointed out here he wrote a weekly column, and I know they were written well and good, because he made me read them each week. He would bring them down the next week and make sure that I read every word that he wrote. We became good and fast friends and stayed in contact after he left the General Assembly, and to the best of my recollection I think the last time he was down here, was for swearing in a term or two ago with Donny Troderick. I think he came down with his swearing in. Lou Caldwell was a fine outstanding gentleman, a man that I think the people 10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 105th Legislative Day March 23, 1994 of this chamber ought to always remember, and I know I'11 will remember fondly, and I miss Lou Caldwell, and I express my sympathy and prayers to his family. A fine gentleman, an outstanding seatmate and a person I will always treasure."
"Representative Skinner."
"Speaker, Lou Caldwell and I had one thing in common. At least one thing in common, we're both fairly cheap. We stayed at the Hotel Governor, which is the cheapest place you could find a room that didn't have bugs and we often ate breakfast at the hotel in the morning and he told me about having written this novel, The Policy King, and I tried to find it, and the State Library doesn't have it. So, I finally badgered him enough so he loaned me the only copy that he knows exists, and it's a pretty good novel and it basically, it basically lays out something that Lou Caldwell, Social Worker did in his life before he did it in his life. The local ministerial associations decided they wanted to legalize policy so they went to the Mayor and the Mayor basically said, 'How many precinct captains do you have', and of course the local ministers didn't have a lot of precinct captains, and so they went back and they got politically involved. And the next time they went to the Mayor after they'd gone through several elections, the Mayor decided to support the Major to Legalize Policy. Now during the seventies, Lou introduced this Bill. I helped him get out of the Revenue Committee, and his argument was that instead of having the Seven/Eleven's of the world selling the lottery tickets you ought to have people going door to door selling the lottery tickets, sort of like insurance salesmen do in underprivileged areas. It was a fascinating, a fascinating argument. We got amazingly 11 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 105th Legislative Day March 23, 1994 enough a majority of the General Assembly to vote for it; excuse me, a majority of the House of Representatives to vote for the Bill. Of course the Senate killed it. Yeah, what's the Senate for, right? I, I think that every Member of this House, this current House, who had the honor of having him as a mentor, well I envy them, because he certainly is a model that I wish all of us could follow."

All in favor say 'aye'; opposed, 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. The Resolution is adopted, and the House stands adjourned until 12:00 noon tomorrow."
