Dear Mr. Secretary - This is to advise that I have i appointed Senator Walter Dudycz as Vice Chair of the Senate Rules Committee. This appointment is effective immediately. Signed by Senator James ''Pate'' Philip, Senate President.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

% Will the Senate please come to order. Twenty-five years a:o Betty Comstock came to work for the Illinois Senate. And, Betty, very honeselyz youdve almost been here as long as I have. Several years later she became the Chief Journal Clerk. While a registered Republican - and very proud of it - during al1 these years she has served this Body: its Presiding Officers, the Secretary of the Senate, of both political parties, faithfully and loyally. One of the...tapplausel...yeah. One of the first Presiding Officers happened to be the first elected President of the Illinois Senate, our dear old friend, Bill Harris. Bill.

THE HONORABLE WILLIAM C. HAQRIS

Well, thank you -- thank you, Mr. President. One thing that any Member of the Senate learns, immediately, Was that Betty Comstock, whose title had always been Journal Clerk of the Secretary of the Senate Office, if you needed help involving the Office of the Secretary, Betty Comstock was the person to contact, because it made no difference whether it Was a direct responsibility, she was there to help. Betty, Without exceeding my allotted tlme, I do want to say, thank youy thou good and faithful servant, and I wish you happiness and many, many years of enjoyment and retlrement. God bless.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Now we'll hear from the longese-serving President in the history of the Illinois General Assemblyz our good friend - and we certainly miss hin - Senator Philip Rock.

THE HONORABLE PHILIP J. ROCK

10 STATE OF ILLINOIS 88TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 87th Legislative Day January l2# 1994 Thank you: Mr. President. I am delighted, obviously, to be here, and I will take the liberty of speaking also on behalf of Cecil Partee and Tom Hynes, who could not be here. There is a song with which I'm sure a1l are familiar, and it's called the ''Wind Beneath my Wings'' and the whole idea is that there are, in life, some unsung people; that al1 of us in the institution itself has a certaën amount of -- of gloryy basks in the spotlight from time to time. And the fact of the matter is that khe people Who really make it workz don 't get any recognition, or very little. Betty Comstock is one of those people. The institution of the Senate of the State of Illinois, the people of Illinois, are better because of what she has done. And we are veryy very grateful. Betty, thank you.

PRESIDENT PHILIP

Now, Betty, on behalf of the Members of the Illinois General Assembly, and a11 of your friends and loved ones, we 'd like to present you with this very small token of our appreciation. And Will just read it. ''Presented to Betty Comstock with the appreciation for your many years of service to the Illinois General Assembly. Members and Staff of the Senate and the People of Illinois. January 12, 1994.11 And I think Phil Rock said it so -- so well, and think sometimes sone of us forget. What would we do without our outstanding staff and those people who are in the -- in the back rooms and in the basements and in the offices doing a11 this work and do it so well. And she typifies everything gcod in government. Betty, webre certainly going to miss you, and maybe you 'd like to say a few wordsg and maybe introduce your family.

MRS. BETTY COMSTOCK
