House Journal: Page 1714: Monday, April 26, 1999

	I am unable to approve Section 1, Subsection 3a, unnumbered paragraph 1.  The 

volunteer office of the Governor is a corner stone of the Iowa community betterment 
program.  The work performed by volunteers on community and statewide projects is 
invaluable to Iowa.  While I understand the general assembly's concern regarding the 
manner in which this effort has been funded in the past it is premature for the 
legislature to rule out possible avenues for funding of these services in the future.  It 
would be better for the department of economic development to work with the 
Governors office, the legislature and volunteer organizations to determine and 
recommend the most appropriate means for carrying out these services.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully approve House File 745 with the 
exception noted above.
	Sincerely,
	Thomas J. Vilsack
	Governor
