Senate Journal: Page 989: Wednesday, April 7, 1999

  Senator Hedge 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 Lamberti and Flynn on the part of the
  Senate; and Representatives Wiedman and Reynolds 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.

  President Kramer presented the Honorable Christopher Rants,
  Speaker pro tempore of the House of Representatives, who welcomed
  the Pioneer Lawmakers on behalf of the House.

  President Kramer presented the Honorable Richard F. Drake,
  member of the Senate who responded to the welcome.

  Senator Drake announced the 1979 class of legislators who were
  eligible to become members of the Pioneer Lawmakers.

  Senator Drake presented David Yepsen, Des Moines Register
  columnist, who addressed the joint convention.

  Madame President
  Mr. Speaker
  Pioneer Lawmakers
  Ladies and Gentlemen of the Iowa General Assembly:
  Thank you for inviting me to address the Pioneer Lawmakers session of the
  Legislature.
  When Senator Drake asked me if I would make a few remarks to the Pioneer
  Lawmakers session, I said I surely would and was honored that he asked.
  But I also asked if he had the votes to get that motion approved.
  After all, many of you hear more from me on Monday morning than you really
  care
  to.
  Senator Drake replied "Haven't you ever been to a transportation committee
  meeting?"
