Senator Madigan.
Thank your Mr. President. move that the reading and approval of the Journal of Wednesday, January the 13th, in the year 1993, be postponed, pending arrival of the printed Journal.
Senator Madigan has moved the suspension and the reading and approval of the Journal, pending the arrival of the printed transcripts. Those in favor, say Aye. Those opposedr Nay. Ayes have 1t. The motlon carries. I have talked to the Minority Leader this morningr and it is the intentlon of the Chair today, quite frankly, to allow the introduction of bills, do scme paperwork, and read the committees into the record , the makeup of the committees, and I will get that to him right away, so he will know the ratios, the time, et cetera. So a11 wedre going to do today, basically, is paperwork. I'm going to have a caucus as soon as we stand at ease, and I'm assuming we w1l1 leave it open till about noon. So if any of the Members wanted to go home, there would be no reason to be here. And think that the minority party on the other side Will be qulte happy with the makeup of the commlttees, because it's better ratios than we had under your so-called fair leadership.
