  Welcome to this historic chamber.  It provides us a beautiful place to work
  and
  serves as a constant reminder of the history and tradition of the Iowa
  Senate.  Welcome
  to family and friends who are here today.  Welcome to our new and returning
  members.
  Congratulations to all who were recently elected.

  You will find here an outstanding and helpful staff, good friends old and

  family sort of support for one another, a unique and caring place.

  We have all been given much, and as it is written, "To whom much is given,
  much is
  expected."  My children refer to this as lecture 432-b.
