  President Kramer then presented Lieutenant Governor Sally
  Pederson who delivered the following remarks:

  Thank you.

  It's wonderful to be here.

  Beyond the pride I have taken in my family, this is the proudest and at the
  same
  time most humbling moment of my life.

  I'm proud to have been selected by Tom Vilsack and the citizens of this
  state to help
  lead Iowa into the 21st century.  And I am humbled by the trust and faith
  all of you
  have placed in me.

  And I want to tell you something.

  As unbelievable as it may seem, I never doubted for a minute - from the
  moment I
  was nominated - that Tom and I would be standing here today.

  I never doubted it because I'm an optimist.  You see, my parents are
  optimists and
  they raised all five of their children to be optimists.

  The reason my parents are optimists is that they - like you and many of your
  parents - learned from watching their ancestors that nothing was impossible.

  This state was settled by people who brought with them little more than
  ingenuity
  and determination.  No problems were unsolvable.  Nothing dulled their
  spirit for this
  beautiful, fertile land.

  What would they say to Iowans today?  What would they say to us?  We tell
  pollsters we are generally satisfied with our lives, but are watching in
  dismay as we:

  *see our students' test scores slip
  *see many schools in need of repair
  *see streams and rivers fouled by pollution
  *and see methamphetamine tearing at families and communities.

  These problems strike at our soul.  For Iowans have always known that while
  we
  couldn't provide ocean views, mountain ranges, and the bright lights of the
  biggest
  cities, we could provide the things that really mattered:  the highest
  standards in
  education, a clean environment, and wonderful communities to raise our
  families.
  When these are threatened, Iowa's very sense of self is threatened.

  Our ancestors, those sturdy pioneers, would tell us to roll up our sleeves
  and get to
  work as a community.
  "Every member of the community is important," they would tell us.  "Civic
  responsibility is important," they would tell us.  And they would tell us
  something else:
  "Don't leave anybody out.  Cast a big net and draw in everyone, those new to
  politics,
  those who've just arrived in our state, those who have not traditionally had
  a voice in
  government."

  Here's an amazing fact:  Iowa has more small communities than any other
  state in
  the nation.  This means that more of our people have the opportunity to
  serve, and be
  involved in the running of this state.

  Iowa must make use of all its people.  Civic responsibility cannot be left
  to a few.
  For civic responsibility isn't reserved for those of one background, or one
  gender, or one
  age.

  Tom Vilsack gave me, an outsider to politics, an extraordinary opportunity
  to run
  for office, and you the citizens have given me an extraordinary opportunity
  to serve.
  I'd like this spirit of inclusion to spread to make this a better state for
  all of our
  citizens.

  This shouldn't be hard, because Iowa has a proud history of reaching out to
  others.
  Whether it was welcoming Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s or piling sandbags
  during
  the flood of 1993, neighbor helping neighbor has been the very soul of our
  state.  One
  writer called it "the casserole reflex" - Iowans automatically give to
  others in need.

  The Vilsack-Pederson administration wants to build on this generous spirit
  to
  create opportunities for all Iowans.

  It is my deepest hope that our administration will, more than anything else,
  stand
  for opportunity.

  Opportunity for Iowa - all Iowa - to prosper.

  Opportunity for Iowans - all Iowans, no matter what their background, their
  economic status, or their special circumstances - to thrive.

  I am confidant this is what the Vilsack-Pederson administration will bring
  to Iowa:
  A government of optimism in a land of opportunity.  And add one other thing:
  Commitment, because optimism without commitment won't get the job done.

  It is my most fervent hope that in this state of opportunity, the government
  of
  optimism will rebuild our hopes, rekindle our dreams, reinvigorate our
  lives.

  But you can't solve problems if you can't see them.

  You can't help people if you don't know them.

  So I am pledging today to do volunteer service somewhere in our state each
  week,
  and I challenge others to do the same.  I plan to help school children with
  their
  reading, to serve meals at a homeless shelter, to help a neighborhood
  clean-up project,
  or any other task that will help me learn about the problems and the people
  working to
  solve them throughout this great state.  I know there are many needs, but I
  know also
  that Iowa has many willing hands.
  I come here this morning, a small-town Iowan who has always loved Iowa, a
  businesswoman who chose to stay in Iowa, a mother, grandmother, and aunt who
  wants her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews to have opportunities
  in Iowa.
  I come here this morning to ask just one thing of you.

  Please join us.

  Please join us in this government of optimism in this lovely, rich land
  blessed by
  God and nurtured by our ancestors.  Please join us in this government of
  optimism in
  this great state of opportunity.

  Together, we can create the Iowa of our dreams.

  Thank you.

  The Mount Pleasant High School Chorus performed "Battle Hymn
  of the Republic."

  The oath of office was administered to Governor-elect Vilsack by
  Chief Justice Arthur A. McGiverin, with Mrs. Christie Vilsack
  assisting.

  President Kramer then presented Governor Tom Vilsack, who
  delivered the following inaugural address.

  Governors Fulton, Ray, and Branstad, Lt. Governors Pederson, Corning, and
  Zimmerman, Chief Justice McGiverin and distinguished members of the court
  and
  judiciary, honorable members of the general assembly - past and present,
  executive
  counsel members, and ladies and gentlemen:

  Today is a day of passages in the state of Iowa, as we inaugurate a new
  administration and look forward to the dawning of a new millennium.

  It is a day to look forward to the challenges and opportunities before us,
  to take
  stock of who we are and where we are, and to take aim at where we want to
  go.

  Before I speak of the future, let me say a word about Governor Branstad and
  Lt. Governor Corning and their families.  Governor and Lt. Governor - you
  have led us
  during the best of times and through some of the worst of times.  You have
  worked
  tirelessly to improve the management of state government and to diversify
  and
  strengthen the state's economy.  You have worked for over two decades for
  the state
  and the people that you love - to make Iowa a better place to live - and you
  leave office
  having done so.  On behalf of a grateful people, I extend our deepest
  appreciation to
  you and to your families for the sacrifices you have made on our behalf.

  Twenty-three years ago, I followed my heart to Iowa.  My wife, Christie, and
  I
  settled in her hometown of Mt. Pleasant.  We wanted to be close to family.
  Our hopes
  and dreams were simple.  We wished to raise our own family in a caring,
  warm, and
  nurturing community.  Our two sons, Jess and Doug, benefited by that
  decision.  Each
  day they give us reason to be proud.

  During those twenty-three years, I've learned of Iowa's greatness.  It
  starts with its
  bountiful natural resources, acres of rich black soil and miles of
  meandering streams
  and rivers.  But its real greatness lies in its most enduring quality - its
  goodness.
   Iowa is great because Iowa is good.  Let me repeat that, Iowa is great
  because Iowa is good.    Our goodness arises from the fundamental goodness
  of our
  people - caring, hard-working, well-educated, and decent.  From child care
  providers to
  direct care staff at nursing homes, from teachers to social workers, from
  farmers to
  factory workers, from veterans to volunteers - caring, hard-working,
  well-educated and
  decent.  Nowhere is our goodness, and therefore our greatness, better
  displayed than in
  our dedication to family and community.

  Family and community is how and where we raise our children and care for
  each
  other.  Family and community is how and where we teach our values, how and
  where
  we mold our ambitions and our aspirations, and how and where today's dreams
  become
  tomorrow's Iowa.

  Family and community - more than genetics and geography - they are our
  collective frame of mind, our way of living, and our shared vision of how we
  want to be.

  At the outset, I spoke of the dawning of the new millennium and of challenge
  and
  opportunity.  Stated simply, our challenge at the close of this century and
  at the
  beginning of a new century is to preserve what is best about Iowa and to
  make it
  better.  We must dedicate ourselves to preserving our natural resources -
  our land,
  water, and air and to preserving the best of family and community while
  adapting each
  to the changing world that surrounds us.

  Making our best - better will not be easy.  We will be challenged to change.

  To preserve and to enhance our natural resources, we must rethink what we do
  with our land, our water, and our air. We must be good stewards and
  rededicate
  ourselves to restoring and conserving the land, to cleaning up the water,
  and to
  protecting the air.  It is our natural resources that hold the key to a
  stronger, more
  prosperous Iowa.  If we are able to mix good old Iowa common sense with
  changing
  science, we can enrich our natural resources and secure a better today and
  decades of
  better tomorrows.

  Constant and unrelenting change challenges our notion of family.  For many
  of us,
  family is not simply defined.  Step families, foster families, adopted
  families, single
  parent families and other arrangements today redefine family.  We live life
  at an ever-
  accelerating pace as we incorporate technology into everyday life.  Adapting
  to
  changing lifestyles and managing the hectic pace of life while preserving
  what is best
  about family will require information, knowledge and wisdom.  One of the
  keys to
  successful family life is a good education.

  Iowa has had a long-standing tradition of excellence in education.  To
  maintain that
  tradition and to build upon it for stronger Iowa families, will require us
  to think
  differently about education and to be prepared to invest in it.
  In the face of growing research, we can no longer accept that an education
  starts
  with kindergarten.  An education begins at birth.  With new jobs being
  created every
  day, and new skills being required every day, we can no longer afford to
  allow
  graduation to signal the end of an Iowan's education.  In Iowa, an education
  never ends -
  it is lifelong.

  We must create a lifelong learning system.  We must be willing to help equip
  parents to be their child's first and best teachers.  We must invest in
  early childhood
  education so all of our children start school ready to learn.  We must
  reduce class sizes
  in the early grades and improve teacher training to ensure that the basics
  are taught
  well - to lay a strong foundation for future learning.  We must instill in
  each student
  the knowledge they will individually need to become productive citizens.
  Our children
  must have access to technology and master its use.  We must always be sure
  that what
  we teach is what we need to learn.  In short, we must create an educational
  system
  that embodies excellence and that enables everyone to learn well.  Let us
  strive for a
  world class education system from pre-school to graduate school that is the
  envy of the
  nation and the world.  Nothing short of that commitment will enable us to
  hold true to
  the traditions of our past and insure the security of our future.

  With a real commitment from all of us, today's dream of a quality education
  will
  build stronger families for Iowa's tomorrow.

  At the heart of our sense of community is a shared concern for each other.
  Today
  we face stern challenges to that sense of community.

  Every day dangerous drugs are shipped into our state, grown in our fields,
  or made
  in our neighborhoods.  Each decade, the drugs become more dangerous, more
  addicting, and more devastating.

  The time has come for each of us to recognize a personal duty.  The time has
  come
  for each of us to send a strong and clear signal that we have had enough.

  While we will and we must do all we can do to stop the supply of these drugs
  - we
  will never succeed until we stop the demand for these drugs.  Every adult in
  this state
  that works with or cares for the children of this state should accept
  personal
  responsibility to educate our children about the dangers of drugs of all
  kinds -
  cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and the most dangerous of all meth.  To help
  those
  young people that make the mistake of taking drugs and become addicted to
  them, we
  must dedicate adequate resources to their successful treatment.  And for
  those who fail
  to heed our community's warning about dealing in drugs, we should be
  prepared to
  respond with swift, sure, and appropriate punishment.

  Whether we provide quality health care for our most vulnerable populations -
  our
  young children, our frail elderly, and those with disabilities will
  determine the level of
  our dedication to community.  Every day tens of thousands of our children go
  without
  basic health care because their working parents cannot afford the cost of
  health
  insurance.  Countless times I have seen communities respond when a child was
  in
  need.  Why - because we are a people - a community with a tradition of
  helping those
  in need.  Let us strengthen our community by extending access to quality
  health care
  to all of our children.  At the same time, let us recognize the same
  responsibility to
  reach out to protect our frail elderly and to assist those with
  disabilities.

  With a real commitment from all of us, today's dream of a drug-free Iowa
  where our
  most vulnerable have access to basic and quality health care will build
  stronger
  communities for tomorrow's Iowa.
  Today in Iowa, hundreds of Iowa's best farmers and Iowa's best workers face
  a
  tomorrow of real uncertainty.  Let us promise today that we will not forget
  their
  struggle.  Let us pledge today that we will act swiftly and decisively to
  help when and
  where help is needed most.

  Changes in agriculture and expanding opportunities in our commercial centers
  creates an economic development challenge and opportunity.

  We often speak as if there were two Iowas - one rural and one urban.  If we
  are to
  thrive we must do so as one and we will do so as one.  Combining our rich
  soil, our
  strong work ethic, and quality education system we can unleash the economic
  power of
  every kernel of corn and every soybean grown in our fields.

  As the food capital of the world, we can add real value to our crops and
  open up new
  markets in the state giving hope to our farmers.  At the same time, with
  each new
  product comes the need for research and development, for processing and
  manufacturing, and for marketing that creates the opportunity for high-tech
  - high-
  paying jobs in commercial centers and surrounding communities.

  With a real commitment from all of us, today's dream of Iowa as the food
  capital
  will build a brighter economic future in tomorrow's Iowa.

  With a sense of hope and excitement, we enter a new century with the
  development
  of a new economy not built solely on the strength of our bodies but more on
  the power
  of our intellect.  Iowa is poised to take real advantage of that new economy
  and to offer
  businesses and industries that locate here the promise of long-term
  profitability built
  on the quality of our workers and our long-term investment in their
  continued
  education.

  Our population is stable, but to realize the promise of the future we must
  be able to
  retain and to attract young people to our state.  Let me start by inviting
  my own sons
  to make Iowa their lifetime home and to encourage you to invite the children
  of our
  state to be a part of its future.  To Jess and Doug, and to all the young
  people of this
  state, I say we need you.  Our state's future depends upon your intellect,
  your
  creativity, your energy.

  I realize that if young people are to stay or come back home, we must do our
  part
  before we ask them to do their part.  We must invest in schools.  We must
  support the
  arts.  We must expand cultural diversity and opportunity.  We must recognize
  the
  importance of recreation.  Let us seal that bargain today for a better Iowa
  tomorrow.

  To the members of the general assembly, let me repeat what Governor Harold
  Hughes said in his first inaugural address, and I quote:

  "As we meet, the question uppermost in the minds of the citizens we
  represent is
  whether or not you of the legislature with a substantial majority and I the
  democratic
  governor can work together to develop a constructive legislative program for
  the good

  of the state.  As I see it, we have no choice - if we are to keep faith with
  our oaths of
  office."
  He went on to say on that day:

  "our constitution states that all political power is inherent in the people.
  The
  people of Iowa elected a democratic governor.  They elected a large
  republican majority
  in both houses of the assembly.  They expect us to do our jobs regardless of
  party
  labels.  Yet now the campaign is over and we proceed to the constructive
  tasks of
  legislation and administration, it is worth noting that the differences that
  divide us as
  partisans are small by comparison with the common ground that unites us a
  fellow
  Iowans.  We want a better, more progressive, more prosperous Iowa.  To
  attain it, we
  must seek both unity and continuity in government."

  I believe Governor Hughes said it as well as it could be said.

  A better - more progressive - more prosperous Iowa will not evolve by and
  through
  government alone.  We must have a clear vision of the Iowa of the future.
  How would
  each of us answer the question - what should Iowa be in the year 2020?  What
  kind of
  state do we want and need?  We must ask those questions now - and, we answer
  them
  thoughtfully now - for a better Iowa.  We must strategically plan our
  future.

  Future success will require a partnership with the private sector and the
  non-profit
  sector to achieve our common goal.  Building and creating these
  relationships and
  partnerships can make all the difference.  Lt. Governor Pederson knows how
  to build
  such partnerships.  We will work together - drawing on our collective
  experiences to
  move Iowa forward.

  Twenty-three years ago I followed my heart to Iowa - now my heart and my
  soul
  belong to our state.  As someone for whom life started in an orphanage in
  Pennsylvania, I have been privileged to be a husband, a father, a lawyer, a
  mayor, and
  a state senator.  It is an extraordinary honor to stand here as your
  governor -
  embraced by the family and the community we call Iowa.

  Let us work together for a better Iowa.  Let us not forget that Iowa is
  great because
  Iowa is good.  Let us make today's dreams tomorrow's Iowa.  If we do, we say
  again
  what was said by Samuel Kirkwood more than 100 years ago, "Iowa - our eyes
  have
  been permitted to behold only the beginnings of her glory."

  Thank you and may god bless you.
