House Journal: Page 12: Monday, January 11, 1999

	Always honor your colleagues.  No matter how strong the disagreement, remember we were all elected because the public believed the same thing about each one 

of us.  That we each would work to make Iowa a better place.  Some members of the chamber across the rotunda have referred to the intentions of some House 
members as being evil.  I have every faith that none in this house would stoop so low as to question a member's integrity over a difference in partisan philosophy.  
The intention of every member of this body is good and honorable.
Lastly, I would like to thank all the members of this body, Mr. Speaker, for the honor you have bestowed upon me by electing me your Speaker Pro Tempore.  I 
look forward to working with each and every one of you, and if I can ever be of assistance, or help you with a matter of procedure, or piece of House business, please 
call on me, my door is always open.
Thank you.
