  AFTERNOON SESSION

  The Senate reconvened at 2:05 p.m., President Kramer presiding.

  COMMITTEE FROM THE HOUSE

  A committee from the House appeared and announced that the
  House was ready to receive the Senate in joint convention.

  Senator Iverson moved that the Senate proceed to the House
  Chamber in accordance with House Concurrent Resolution 11 in
  columns of two led by the Secretary of the Senate and the Sergeant-
  at-arms.

  The motion prevailed by a voice vote.

  JOINT CONVENTION
  PIONEER LAWMAKERS

  Fifty-fourth Biennial Session
  House Chamber 2:10 p.m.

  In accordance with House Concurrent Resolution 11, the joint
  convention was called to order, President Kramer presiding.

  President Kramer declared a quorum present and the joint
  convention duly organized.

  Senator Iverson moved that a committee of four be appointed to
  escort the Pioneer Lawmakers into the House Chamber.

  The motion prevailed by a voice vote and the President appointed
  as such committee Senators Rensink and McCoy on the part of the
  Senate; and Representatives Weidman and Connors on the part of the
  House.

  The committee escorted the Pioneer Lawmakers to seats in the
  House Chamber.

  President Kramer presented the Honorable Donald Redfern,
  President pro tempore of the Senate, who welcomed the Pioneer
  Lawmakers on behalf of the Senate.
  922 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 80th Day
  President Kramer presented the Honorable Ron Corbett, Speaker of
  the House of Representatives, who welcomed the Pioneer Lawmakers
  on behalf of the House of Representatives.

  President Kramer presented the Honorable John P. Kibbie,
  member of the Senate, who responded to the welcome.

  Senator Kibbie announced the 1977-1978 class of legislators who
  were eligible to become members of the Pioneer Lawmakers and that
  lobbyists Bob Boyken from Waterloo, John Lewis from West Des
  Moines, and William Smith and F. Richard Thornton from Des
  Moines, were awarded honorary memberships in the Pioneer
  Lawmakers Association.

  Senator Kibbie presented James Flansburg, retired columnist from
  the Des Moines Register, who address the joint convention.

  I first walked into these chambers in search of a news story about 40 years
  ago.

  What I remember best was a speech in the Senate. An old family friend, a
  senator
  from the Cedar County town of Clarence, Earl Elijah, was talking about a
  bill
  rewriting the probate code.

  The bill was six inches thick, an impenetrable forest of paper for most
  people, and
  that grand old man hefted it above his head and gave his speech.

  "I just hope you lawyers know what you're doing," he said, and sat down.

  I guess they did. The bill passed and remains the basic law yet today. Some
  members here might not approve of this standard but I use it yet. The bill
  must have
  been a good one when you consider the absence of scandal, great law suits
  and public
  indignation.

  I've thought of old Earl Elijah - I think his family and my family settled
  in Cedar
  County about the same time in the late 1840s - dozens of times as I've tried
  to make
  sense of this place and the way it has changed through my career as a
  reporter, editor
  and opinion columnist.

  His speech hinted at the bonds of trust that ran this place, held it
  together, then.
  The continued existence of the committee system still implies that - you
  concentrate
  your efforts on this endeavor and I'll concentrate on that one - but from
  what I've seen
  and read, anyone who believes in a bond of trust today is begging for
  disappointment.

  Sometimes nowadays I get the impression that everyone is trying to put
  something
  over on everyone else, with no consideration for what it might do to the
  commonwealth as a whole.
  80th Day WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1997 923
  For the players, those little games can provide moments of fun. But for
  those of us
  who don't have the time or inclination or ability to keep track of it all
  and still have to
  live with the haphazard public policy that might result, it's bewildering.

  What stopped first, I wonder: The honor and respect that we almost
  automatically
  paid to a state legislator? Or the behavior, the demeanor, that commanded
  that honor
  and respect?

  Do I have a cure? An antidote? A reform? Lord, no. I'm having enough trouble
  just
  describing the condition.

  We live in a time when the only constant is change. The legislature is
  caught by that
  as surely as the rest of us.

  It may be a reflection of my age but what bothers me greatly is change for
  the sake
  of change, people changing a law without bothering to find out what the
  law's purpose
  was, what led to is passage in the first place.

  Almost every day in this place, many make a dreadful and dangerous
  assumption:
  That those who were here in the past were dummies and do not need to be
  heeded.

  Let me assure you: They were not dummies. Let me also assure you that, as
  the
  wise man said, those who do not read history are doomed to repeat its
  mistakes.

  There is no doubt in my mind that today's Iowa Legislature is more
  representative
  of the people of Iowa than yesterday's legislature was.

  The legislature's work and play, unfortunately, is not bathed in the high,
  good
  humor that marked it 20, 30 or 40 years ago.

  The passions back then were just as strong, I think, but the respect for
  decorum and
  the legislative traditions of good behavior were dominant.

  That resulted in the kind of class, for instance, that Minnette Doderer
  showed about
  30 years ago when she went up on a point of personal privilege to talk about
  Richard
  Radl of Lisbon.

  "When he goes home this weekend, I hope his mother comes out from under the
  porch and bites him," she said.

  In 1973, Charles City's Ralph McCartney filed a motion to censure Lucas
  DeKoster
  of Hull. "He used a fact in debate and that's a dangerous precedent," said
  McCartney.

  The same year Algona's Berl Priebe began to have doubts about the committee
  system: "Ever since my baby pig bill went to Education, I've been a little
  skeptical of
  committees," he said.

  In 1977, I asked the wife of a legislator if she thought if was right to
  serve as her
  husband's clerk even though she didn't have some secretarial skills such as
  short-
  hand.

  "I can write faster in longhand than he can think," she said. Case closed.
  924 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 80th Day
  The old reporter title came about because I didn't know how to write in the
  first
  person when I first began writing a column in 1971. My style was the
  newspaper style.
  I had to quote people. So I quoted me and called me "the old reporter."

  "How does the Iowa Legislature break down by sex?" I asked the old reporter
  in
  1977. "I'd say that alcohol is a bigger problem," he said.

  A few years before that, some of us got bored with the lack of news at
  Governors'
  Days in Clear Lake, and began running Muscatine's Richard Drake for
  lieutenant
  governor.

  The job was very powerful then, being sought by Art Neu and Bill Harbor, and
  poor
  Drake squirmed, worrying about making those two angry.

  At a reception, I caught up with Shirley and Dick Drake and stormed at him
  for
  giving the story to the Associated Press instead of me.

  "It's on the wire?" he asked. "Yes," I said. He did some shouting, and I
  said, "Dick,
  have I ever lied to you." "No," said Drake. "Well, I am now," I said.
  "Furthermore, "
  yelled Drake, "I told that damn Bill Eberline."

  "Dick, Dick, Dick," said Shirley. "He said he's lying. Don't you ever listen
  to anyone?'

  And I remember Jack Schroeder, a talented Davenport legislator from a long
  time
  ago. His motto: "Never leave a party until you're asked to leave."

  My favorite story involves an anonymous legislator who was flying off to an
  eastern
  convention with a girl friend when his party put a call on the Senate. The
  lady went
  east, he came back to the Senate, very angry, and voted against his party at
  every
  turn.

  I am leaving out a lot of names, and for that I'm sorry. With a couple of
  exceptions
  whom I've written about, I'm proud to have met and known a host of Iowa
  legislators.
  And, God, I hate to say this, but I have to include some lobbyists in that.
  I should
  name them. It would ruin their day. In any event, I feel blessed that I had
  a chance to
  know and watch the work of so many decent, caring people in and around Iowa
  government.

  Focus on this for a moment: This place, Iowa, is a better place than it was
  - 20 years
  ago, 40 years ago, 100 years ago. In that, I include the Legislature itself,
  the counties
  and cities, our institutions.

  They need minding, some herding, some correcting, but they're better than
  their
  predecessors because your predecessors exercised political courage and made
  them so.

  That's a glorious but a demanding legacy.

  In the main, Iowa has had the luck to elect good people. We've had very few
  scoundrels.

  Many members today are not as well-schooled, formally and informally, and as
  experienced in real life as their counterparts of yesterday.
  80th Day WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1997 925
  Changes in politics and in business have made it all but impossible for some
  people
  who've been successful in private endeavors to serve in today's legislature.

  So some then and now comparisons are not appropriate.

  Whenever you get to talking with the old-timers in the legislative or
  lobbying or
  reporting stables, you get barraged about how bigger-than-life the members
  were way
  back when.

  I don't know why that is, because it's nonsense. Forty years from now, I
  tell you
  today, some of the members, the lobbyists, staffers and reporters here will
  be telling
  people about the giants that served here back in '97.

  I knew and liked and respected some of the giants of 40 years ago. I cherish
  some
  friendships that came from my days here. But I don't think most of
  yesterday's people
  were any different than today's members. Most of them would fit in quite
  easily today.

  They would have to learn how to deal with some changes just as today's
  members
  would have to learn to deal with yesterday's system.

  Despite my warnings about old-timers with giant stories, I do want to
  mention what
  I regard as the most extraordinary session in the state's history. The 1965
  session.

  It came as a result of the 1964 Johnson landslide over Goldwater, the first
  time in
  30 years that the Democrats were in control.

  There was a lot of fun, a lot of hell-raising, a lot of tipping over of
  tradition, but the
  hard fact was that there was not an issue that the general assembly refused
  to deal
  with.

  From both parties, it seemed to me, the members were there to do a job, get
  the
  state in order, not to get re-elected or prepare for some bigger office.

  It was an enormously creative session. Almost all of the legislative work in
  Iowa
  since has amounted to fine-tuning what was done in 1965.

  Someone like Bob Fulton or Minnette Doderer or Jack Kibbie or Bill Palmer
  should
  write a book.

  When I first came to the Iowa Legislature as a reporter, the committee
  meetings
  were closed. No one except members and the committee clerk was allowed in.
  It was
  not uncommon, you'd learn sometimes years after the fact, for a member to
  argue one
  way in committee and in another way in public.

  Leadership control was icy and ruthless. Issues weren't let out of committee
  for
  debate until they manifested substantial public support.

  As a kind of show, for example, two bills were debated at the same time on
  the same
  day in 1959: Reapportionment in one house and liquor by the drink in the
  other. There
  was no chance of either passing. The purpose was to let the debate be a
  safety valve to
  let off some public pressure.
  926 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE 80th Day
  Bit by bit, there was change. It probably would shock some people today to
  learn
  that we thought it was reform about 35 years ago when they required an
  explanation
  on the bill and required the bill to be printed so that you could see what
  it did to the
  law. Fiscal notes? We thought that was just short of the Second Coming.

  Through 1965, as I recall it, Senate deliberations on gubernatorial
  appointments
  and confirmation votes took place in executive session. The Senate would go
  into
  executive session, throw everyone out of the chamber, and then go about its
  business.

  That rattled one senator in 1965 because it meant his wife, who was his
  secretary,
  had to leave the chamber and he relied on her to tell him what to do.

  Some of us would make our way to the attic, and listen to the debate through
  the air
  vents around the chandeliers. The acoustics are perfect up there.

  Some years later, I once found myself locked inside a Senate Republican
  caucus. It
  was my single worst experience in the reporters' trade. It was an accident.
  I didn't
  want to be there. But I couldn't step out without being denounced as a
  sneak. So I
  stayed - in grave jeopardy of wetting my pants - as the senators got into a
  long, nasty
  fight over their parking places on the east side of the capitol building.

  Courtesy of experiences like that, I've never been as great an exponent of
  open
  meetings as some of my colleagues in the Fourth Estate.

  Opening the committee meetings to the public and the procedural changes
  governing the drafting of bills, the advent of the computer and the cell
  phone, the
  coming of almost instant mass communications, high-speed highways and travel
  - all
  those things and more have combined to make this a different place than it
  was.

  When I started in the reporters' trade at the Des Moines Register and
  Tribune in
  1957, we had to have an editor's permission to make a long-distance
  telephone call. It
  was an expensive and complicated endeavor, so an operator handled it and
  called you
  when the connection was made.

  In 1967, as I remember it, one of the most effective lobbyists in the place,
  Ed Jones,
  began spending about half his time in an office downtown, using his
  telephone WATTS
  line to energize lobbying efforts whose need was spotted by a young
  associate who'd
  joined him, F. Richard Thornton.

  Those kinds of changes in technology make it very difficult for a member of
  today's
  legislature to handle the most important aspect of the job: Seek and forge
  compromise.

  We live in an exceedingly diverse place of competitive and conflicting
  interests.

  The country would fall apart, Alistair Cooke wrote years ago, if we did not
  have
  three secrets: "Compromise, compromise and compromise."

  You have to have trade-offs or those competing and conflicting interests
  will be at
  each other's throats.
  80th Day WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2, 1997 927
  It's there, I think, that most of today's legislators have failed. Perhaps
  because of
  the changes in technology, they've forgotten or neglected a duty, as
  leaders, to teach
  their constituents about the possibilities and the impossibilities of
  government.

  In many places, what should be an exalted word - compromise - has become a
  dirty
  word.

  Too many politicians play to the gallery and talk about seeking victory
  rather than
  accommodation. They may not quite mean what they say but they always have
  listeners who believe.

  The result is a dissemination of anger, hate, distrust and suspicion, and
  ultimately a
  lack of comprehension that in fact, in the end, we all want and are seeking
  the same
  goals.

  Thank you and good luck.
