Senate Journal: Page 167: Thursday, January 28, 1999

  Senator Iverson moved that a committee of twelve, consisting of
  six members from the Senate and six members from the House, be
  appointed to notify Governor Vilsack that the joint convention was
  ready to receive him.

  The motion prevailed by a voice vote and the Chair announced the
  appointment of Senators Hedge, Boettger, Rife, Dearden, Dvorsky,
  and Fraise on the part of the Senate, and Representatives Lord,
  Larson, Heaton, Foege, Ford, and Mascher, on the part of the House.

  The following guests were escorted into the House Chamber:

  Secretary of State Chester J. Culver, Treasurer of State Michael
  Fitzgerald, Secretary of Agriculture and Land Stewardship Patty
  Judge, Auditor of State Richard Johnson, and Attorney General Tom
  Miller.

  Chief Justice McGiverin and the Justices of the Supreme Court;
  Chief Judge Sackett and the judges of the Court of Appeals.

  Lieutenant Governor Sally Pederson.

  The committee waited upon Governor Vilsack and escorted him to
  the Speaker's station.

  President Kramer presented Governor Vilsack, who delivered the
  following Budget Message:

  Madam President, Mr. Speaker, Honorable Members of the General Assembly,
  Chief Justice McGiverin and Distinguished Members of the Judiciary,
  Lieutenant
  Governor Pederson, Esteemed Statewide Elected Officials, Special Guests, My
  Fellow
  Citizens of Iowa.

  Let me begin by reading a letter from a very important person in Iowa. She
  wrote
  to me:

  "Dear Governor Vilsack,

  What are you going to do about pollution?  I would tell the people
  not to!  I don't like pollution.  Do you?  So what are you going to do
  about schools?  I really like my school.  Can we have more time to
  read?  So what are you going to do?"
