"Representative Currie, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Thank you, Speaker. I rise with a parliamentary inquiry. I happen to be in the Executive Committee this morning and I found that the interpretation that the Chairman of that committee gave to House Rule 714 was certainly not an interpretation that I think is ever applied to the language in that rule that we have had in previous Sessions of this assembly nor is it consistent with Roberts Rules of Order. So, my parliamentary inquiry is, am I right that the Chair of that committee ran roughshod not only of the Members, not only the Minority Members..."
"Representative Currie..."
"...but also of the House Rules, written and adopted by your Party, and I'd be happy to read you the language in question. House Rule 714."

"Representative Granberg, for what purpose do you rise?"

"That's a matter for the Committee Chair, in that particular committee, Representative Granberg and the 4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 89TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 10th Legislative Day February 1, 1995 question is not properly before the House. It is before that committee and I suggest you take it up before that committee. Representative Phelps, for what purpose do you rise?"
"Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to announce that...a contrasting note that in Health Care and Human Services things proceeded very quietly and very well done by Representative Krause, the Chairman. However, in just a very few moments, I went to Education Committee to check because I had a Bill up and within like five minutes or more, they were gone. And I remember when I was Chairman of the Health Care Committee those people saying, 'Can I be back in 30 minutes? Do you think you'll be ready for me?' Yes. Put them on a list, went Democrat, Republican, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, an hour. Pretty well synchronize everything..."
