  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.

  IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto
  subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of
  (SEAL)	the State of Iowa to be affixed.  Done at Des Moines
  this 1st day of November in the year of our Lord
  two thousand one.
