REMARKS BY MINORITY LEADER SCHRADER

Schrader of Marion offered the following remarks:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Colleagues:

It's very common to stand here and give a leader's farewell
speech. I hope that I get to come back to this place again, but
I sometimes wonder after having heard the farewell speeches of
those colleagues who are going home and are going to do
something different. Their stories and their reminiscing and
their great, positive futures are fun to hear and delightful to
share. I'm not going to talk about our work. I think we've all
worked hard, and we've had enough of that. I guess I just want
to talk about you folks.

This is a great place and I know that people at home, the people
that I call upon, and people I drink coffee with at the
Maid-Rite every morning, rarely a person comes in that I don't
know. It's fairly rare that a person comes in that I haven't
been to their house. I expect many of you cherish that kind of a
background in a rural small town. It's pretty nice.

But the folks here are a little different than the ones in my
hometown because they're from a lot of home towns. I think those
differences really make this place fun. And I'd like to say
thanks to some people. First, to my assistant leaders on our
Democrat team: John Connors, Pam Jochum, Mike Moreland, Dick
Myers, and Don Shoultz. We've really had a team in our caucus
this year that made decisions. These folks have gathered around
me and around our caucus and shared responsibility in the hard
work and made things great. I really appreciate you all.
