Senate Journal: Page 1408: Tuesday, April 25, 1995

         Senator Horn moved that the roll call be dispensed with and that
    the President of the joint session be authorized to declare a quorum
    present.

         The motion prevailed by a voice vote.

         President Boswell announced a quorum present and the joint session
    duly organized.

         Senator Horn moved that a committee of six, three members from the
    Senate and three members from the House be appointed to notify the
    President of the United States that the joint session is ready to
    receive him.

         The motion prevailed by a voice vote and the President appointed as
    such committee Senators Horn, Bisignano and Rife, on the part of the
    Senate, and Representatives Siegrist, Van Maanen and Schrader, on the
    part of the House.

         The joint session stood at ease until the fall of the gavel.

         The joint session resumed session, President Boswell presiding.

         The Sergeant-at-arms announced that the President of the United
    States was present in the Senate chamber.

         The President of the United States was escorted to the Presidents
    station by the committee previously appointed.

         President Boswell presented the President of the United States,
    Bill Clinton, who delivered the following remarks:

         Thank you very much, Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Governor Branstad,
    Mr. Chief Justice, and members of the Supreme Court, distinguished Iowa
    state officials.  And former Congressman Neil Smith, my good friend, and
    Mrs. Smith thank you for being here.  To all of you who are members of
    the Iowa legislature, House and Senate, Republican and Democrat, it is a
    great honor for me to be here today.

         I feel that Im back home again.  When I met the legislative
    leadership on the way in and we shared a few words and then they left to
    come in here, and I was standing around with my crowd, I said, you know,
    I really miss state government.  Ill say more about why in a moment.

         Id like to, if I might, recognize one of your members to thank him
    for agreeing to join my team -- Representative Running will now be the
    Secretary of Labors representative. Would you stand up, please. Thank
    you.
