  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?"
  Well, yes, I replied.  They're fun to cover if you're up at that hour or
  don't blink.

  "Then you know I've got the votes," he said. "Just keep it short."

  So thank you Senator for the invitation.  In that spirit, I'll proceed. Far
  be it from
  me to do anything to impede the adjournment of this session.  What was it
  you
  promised, Representative Siegrist - April 23?
  This is actually the second time I have addressed the Iowa General Assembly.
  The
  first time, in June, 1967, I was the 17-year old governor of the American
  Legion Boys
  State program.  They weren't in too good of a mood, mired in a June session
  as they
  were.
  I told them they should lower the voting age.  They didn't.  And legislators
  haven't
  taken my suggestions since, so I'll not preach any here today.
  However, my work has been acknowledged frequently from the floor of each
  chamber although not always in flattering terms.
  I was recognized once by Representative Doderer.  Fourteen years ago this
  month
  she rose on a point of personal privilege to say this was an important day
  for Iowa
  women.
  Everyone looked around the chamber to ask what was going on.  She said
  "David
  Yepsen's wife just had a baby girl and that's going to make him a whole lot
  more
  sensitive to the needs of Iowa women than he's been."
  Well, I want to report, Representative Doderer, that Elizabeth's teachers
  have
  given her the tests and find she has a "slightly liberal" political
  philosophy.  I told
  Governor Vilsack that and he said "Tell your wife she's doing a good job
  raising your
  daughter".
  To the point here today, my friend John Flannery out in the lobby is fond of
  telling
  me that this place is really just one big family.  We've all got our roles
  to play as
  members, as staff, as reporters, doorkeepers, clerks, secretaries or
  lobbyists or pages.
  We work, fight, celebrate and commiserate together. Like it or not, for
  several months
  out of the year we're all thrown together into this hothouse atmosphere
  where we all
  play that part and try to do the right things for the people of Iowa.
  Tell John I think he's right because you don't get to choose all the members
  of your
  real family either.
  Sometimes our family roles conflict.  Most of you understand the press has a
  watchdog role to play in our society. But you still don't like it when we
  write those
  stories about campaign finance, ethics or secrecy in government. But that's
  our job.
  But John's on to something. Regardless of the role we play in this
  statehouse
  family, we all come here with a fierce love of Iowa and a desire to make it
  better.   It's a
  trait that has gone on in these halls for over 100 years and if Senator
  Jensen has his
  way, it'll go on here in a newly restored capitol for another 100 years.
  In fact, it may take 100 years to complete the restoration.
  For decades, men and women from all walks of life have come to this building
  to
  serve Iowa.  Most of could be making more money doing something else.  Most
  make
  personal financial and family sacrifices to be here.    All of us have had
  the unpleasant
  experience of calling a spouse or loved one to tell them we won't be home
  for dinner
  that night or have to work this weekend.
  If it weren't for their understanding many couldn't work here. So on this
  day of
  remembrances, I'd like to acknowledge your families at home who put up with
  so much
  to enable you to be here.  We overlook them too often.
  There also lots of hidden stories in this statehouse family that really
  never get told.
  Like the members who helped one another through tough financial times, or
  help a
  colleague fight an alcohol problem or console one another in time of
  trouble. Some
  great battles have been fought on this floor.  But some lifelong friendships
  have been
  formed here too and today's the day we renew those friendships and forget
  the fights.
  It's a story we don't often write because they're private matters.  But
  they're no less
  real and it's why all of us our saying our prayers for Stew and Jean Iverson
  right now.
  I have noticed over the years there are family rituals to this place and
  Pioneer
  Lawmakers is one of them.
  Every two years we get together to honor the family elders - those members
  who
  came here 20 years ago and to remember those members who have passed away.
  This year, we honor the Class of 1979 - those lawmakers who were first
  elected in
  1978.
  That was just a year after I was assigned to cover the statehouse.  It seems
  like
  yesterday I was walking into the building and thinking what a beautiful but
  intimidating place this was.
  I think most of us can recall a similar memory of our first day walking into
  this
  capitol to go to work, whatever our job. We were all newcomers to the family
  and, truth
  be told, we are all honored to come to work each day.
  I succeeded Jim Flansburg who had succeeded George Mills.  They passed on a
  lot
  of advice: Like:
  "Watch the code editor's bill.  Laverne Schroeder repealed the whole state
  housing
  code one year in that bill."
  And "it isn't really tea that Jimmy Briles has in his cup on the last night
  of the
  session."
  "Watch the IPERS bill to see if there's still someone in Boone County who
  Jack
  Nystrom hasn't got covered.
  "In 20 years, you'll figure out what really went on.  Which is why I'm
  looking
  forward today to finding out what deals really were cut in that usury debate
  of 20
  years ago.
  Or, debate will always be long-winded when it's a bill everyone understands
  and
  short when they don't understand it. So we all know we're in for a long
  afternoon when
  there's a bill about dove hunting, fences or farm pickup trucks.
  Or don't go out with Ed Jones at night if you have to be functional the next
  day.
  1978 was an important election in the country and in Iowa.  It was a
  harbinger
  election that foretold the sweeping change coming in the 1980 election.  In
  Iowa,
  Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Clark was upset by Roger Jepsen.  It was a
  stunning upset,
  caused as many Catholic and evangelical voters left the Democratic party
  over the
  abortion issue.  For the most part, they have not returned and the shape of
  politics has
  been different ever since.  The change in politics was affirmed in 1980 by
  the Reagan
  landslide, an election that fundamentally changed the nation's philosophy
  toward
  government.
  The change rippled through legislative politics too. Democrats who had won
  the
  Legislature during the Watergate era lost it to the Republicans in 1978.
  The GOP
  control would be short-lived, thanks to the farm crisis of the 1980s that
  made
  Democrats out of many rural voters.
  The only good news for Democrats that year was the election of Tom Miller as
  Iowa's new attorney general.  He defeated the eminently quotable Richard
  Turner, who
  was always a reporters best friend on a slow news day.

  Bob Ray won yet another term as governor, defeating Jerry Fitzgerald.  Lt.
  Gov.
  Art Neu retired from that job, having grown tired of waiting around for Ray
  to leave
  his job.  That enabled an unknown state Representative named Terry Branstad
  to win
  the Lieutenant Governorship and we just all knew that little guy was going
  nowhere in
  Iowa politics.

  A new generation of leaders emerged that year.  Lowell Junkins became
  minority
  leader in the Iowa Senate.  Cal Hultman became majority leader.
  Those two have proven that there really is life after the Legislature and
  it's often
  quite profitable too.
  What the election of 1978 illustrated was something that is still true
  today. Iowa
  has a healthy, vigorous two party system.  The two parties in Iowa compete
  hard with
  one another for the support of Iowans.  When that competition turns nasty
  we're all
  losers.
  But when that competition turns positive as each side tries to out do the
  other by
  offering the best candidates and best ideas they can find, then all of us in
  Iowa are the
  winners.
  That's the kind of session you are having this year and it's commendable.
  A healthy two party system is alive and well in Iowa today.

  The 1979 session of the Legislature was memorable for a couple reasons.
  They had
  a $150 million surplus that year and gave a third of it back to the tax
  payers in a
  rebate.  That's not been repeated since but just imagine what these boys
  could do today
  with a $900 million surplus!
  They also started income tax indexing.  Inflation was 9.4 percent that year
  so that
  meant something to taxpayers. Unlike the rebate, indexing's an idea that
  successors
  have kept around.
  They legalized graduated payment mortgages and variable rate mortgages. They
  cut unemployment benefits and allowed credit unions to run checking
  accounts.
  Much has changed since 1978 and not all of it for the better.  Budgets are
  larger.
  Staffs bigger. The costs of campaigns has exploded and they're about to
  become more
  expensive now that corporate contributions are legal.
  Why, in 1978, you could win an open seat in the Iowa Legislature for less
  than
  $5,000!  Some things never change, though.  If you aren't a member, it's
  still hard to
  find a place to park around here. There are about 30 lobbyists here who are
  former
  members and they'll all tell you the greatest mistake they made while
  serving was in
  not providing more places for people to park.
  But a lot of good things have happened too. It's more business like. The
  work week
  is more family friendly.  Marathon late night sessions are rare.  More women
  serve in
  the Legislature today. Some day when half the membership is female, we'll be
  able to
  say we have a Legislature that truly reflects the population of this state.
  But there I've started to preach and I promised not to do that.  So to
  Senator
  Drake, thank you again for the invitation to address this joint session.  To
  the Pioneer
  Lawmakers, welcome home.  To the members, good luck in making that April 23
  adjournment.
  And to both present and former members in this chamber, I want to say
  something
  those of us in the media rarely say - and that is thank you. Thank you for
  your
  personal sacrifice. Thank you for your public service. Thank you for trying
  to make
  Iowa better and for your willingness to be in what Theodore Roosevelt once
  called "The
  Arena."

  Representative Gipp moved that the joint convention be dissolved
  at 2:30 p.m.

  The motion prevailed by a voice vote.

  The Senate returned to the Senate Chamber and resumed regular
  session.
