The following correction has been made on the report from the Senate Judiciary Committee. On March 16, 2005, the Committee reported Senate Bill 1303 as having been postponed. When the Committee reconvened on March 17, 2005, the bill was heard and received a recommendation of Do Pass. That action was inadvertently omitted from the report filed by the Committee and read into the record on March 17, 2005.

Ladies and Gentlemen, you received a notice a couple days ago and it should be on everybody’s schedule. Tonight -- tonight, at -- at the hours of between 6 and 8 p.m., Governor Blagojevich has offered all -- Members of the General Assembly and a guest to come to a sneak preview of the Abraham Lincoln Museum. And for those who have not seen it yet, the official opening is coming on the nineteenth, and we understand some Presidents -- former Presidents of the United States will be in attendance. But I strongly urge that if you can make this sneak preview this evening, it’s -- it’s a wonderful walk through history. The Abraham Lincoln Museum is a showcase of presidential libraries throughout the United States. It’s kind of like a walk through history going through the Epcot Center at Disney World. It’s quite imaginable. It’s quite informative and they have two IMAX theaters inside the museum. So, if you get a chance, I think there’s a legislative reception there between 6 and 8 o'clock this evening and I’d strongly recommend you walk and see it this evening. Thank you, Madam President.
