Whereas, the 2001 regular session of the Seventy-ninth General Assembly
adjourned pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 39; and
Whereas, the nation’s economy has experienced a severe downturn that has been
exacerbated by the tragic events of September 11th; and
Whereas, on October 11th, the state’s revenue estimating conference reduced its
projection of state revenue for fiscal year 2002 by $157.5 million; and
Whereas, by executive order, I have directed a uniform modification of allotment
requests, pursuant to Iowa code section 8.31, to achieve an annual 4.3 percent budget
reduction for fiscal year 2002; and
Whereas, the General Assembly should adopt prudent and necessary legislation to
restore funds to targeted areas of the state budget, following the across-the-board
budget reductions implemented by executive order number twenty-four.
Now, Therefore, I, Thomas J. Vilsack, Governor of the State of Iowa, in accordance
with Article IV, Section XI, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa, do hereby proclaim
that the Seventy-ninth General Assembly shall convene in extraordinary session in
Des Moines, Iowa at 9:00 a.m., on the eighth day of November, 2001, and to that end I
do call up and direct the members of the House of Representatives to convene in the
House chamber at the State Capitol and members of the Senate to convene in Room
116 at the State Capitol at 9:00 a.m., on the eighth day of November, 2001, for the
purpose which the assembly is convened, namely the matter of considering prudent
and necessary legislation to restore funds to targeted areas of the state budget,
following the annual 4.3 percent budget reduction for fiscal year 2002, and matters
properly related thereto.
(Seal) IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto sub-
scribed my name and caused the great seal of the
State of Iowa to be affixed. Done at Des Moines this
1st day of November in the year of our Lord two
