  request of
  Senator Gronstal.

  OPENING REMARKS BY THE
  PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE

  President Kramer addressed the Senate with the following
  remarks:

  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
  new, a
  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.
  Theodore Roosevelt said, "Far and away the best prize that life offers is
  the chance
  to work hard at work worth doing."  What we do here is work worth doing.

  If we seize the opportunity to move an agenda forward, we will serve our
  constituents well . . . those folks who put their trust in us by giving us a
  precious gift-
  their vote.

  I have no doubt we can agree on large themes:

  Economic development.
  By definition, increasing and enhancing the quality and number of jobs and
  increasing private and public wealth.  Only by doing this, do we make
  possible the
  necessary investments in public service, facilities, and infrastructure that
  lead to the
  enhanced quality of life we all want.  Encourage, even demand, participation
  by
  business and civic leaders, along with elected public leadership, to form
  collaborative
  and committed partnerships.

  World-class education.
  From earliest childhood to graduate levels of specialty.  Every child
  arriving at
  school ready to learn; every child being challenged to reach their full
  potential; and
  every child having a well-prepared and caring teacher in every year and in
  every
  subject.

  Quality of life unmatched elsewhere.
  From air and water quality to superior public health to attractions that
  reflect our
  values and showcase our best traditions.

  Care for all our citizens.
  Especially those who need it most . . . those who are mentally ill, those
  who are
  disabled, those who need a temporary helping hand.

  And our children.
  In the words of the agenda of the Children's Defense Fund, "It is time for
  American
  adults (us) to stop our moral hypocrisy and live the values we want our
  children to
  learn.  If we want them to stop being violent, then we should stop being
  violent.  If we
  want them to be honest, then we should be honest.  Parents, teachers,
  preachers, and
  public officials must conduct themselves as they would want their child-or
  any child-
  to emulate.  Our children need consistent love, time, attention, discipline,
  family
  stability, and limits at home and in school, and they need to see that
  adults in their
  nation, private sector, and their communities value and care for them-not as
  consumers or future customers to be exploited, nor as a nonvoting group to
  be
  ignored-but as heirs of America's institutions and values."  So our
  behavior, as well as
  our policy making, is worthy of scrutiny.

  Embrace our agriculture heritage.
  See biotechnology not only as an economic driver, but also as one with the
  potential
  to feed the world.  Accept the knowledge that we must accept changes in our
  mythology
  of farming.  Our roots are deep, and change of the magnitude required feels
  like giving
  up what we believe.  But "value-added" are not just words . . . they are
  required for
  sustainability.

  Power to the people.
  Disciplined government spending that allows us to restore dollars to Iowa
  families,
  because they will make wise choices that benefit us all.

  So here we are-January 8, 2001-a new General Assembly.

  Lots of talk and lots of speculation:  "Who will run and for what?"  "How
  much
  partisanship and conflict will occur?"  "When will the 'honeymoon' be over?"
  "How
  many firemen-first mentalities?"  "Who will focus only on the controversial,
  and so
  delay or prevent important work from being accomplished?"

  We can make one another "look bad."  We can offer amendments to catch each
  other
  on "bad" votes.  We can shine the light on the "splits," partisanship,
  chamber
  differences, rural/urban.

  There is equal-or perhaps more-potential to squander our opportunities than
  there is to seize the opportunities we have been given by our constituents.

  Martin Luther King said, "The measure of a man is not where he stands in
  moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of
  challenge and
  controversy."

  Today, we are at a moment of comfort and convenience.  Our tests will come
  during
  moments of challenge and controversy.

  So perhaps we should practice the old Swedish proverb, "Fear less, hope
  more; eat
  less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less,
  love more; and
  all good things will be ours."

  REMARKS BY THE MAJORITY LEADER

  Senator Iverson addressed the Senate as follows:

  I want to welcome all the Senators, staff, and visitors who are present
  today for the
  opening of the 2001 Regular Session of the 79th General Assembly.  Isn't it
  exciting to
  be here again?  I especially want to extend a warm welcome to those new
  Senators who
  are joining us for the first time today.  I look forward to working with
  each and every
  one of you during the next few months.

  Each legislative session brings with it numerous challenges, and this
  session will be
  no different than the rest.  We must continue to work toward a responsible
  and
  balanced budget that reflects the priorities of Iowans.  That is our job.

  One way of ensuring the continued growth and prosperity of our great state
  is to
  adhere to the 99% spending limit bill that was passed some years ago.  We
  will
  continue to promote Iowa values by limiting the growth of government and
  wasteful
  spending.  We must put a greater emphasis on the family budget and a smaller
  emphasis on the government budget.  By providing meaningful tax relief and
  eliminating wasteful spending, we are investing in Iowa's families and our
  people.
  Although we have many challenges ahead of us, we also have many
  opportunities.
  As Senators, we are in the position to make Iowa schools the best in the
  nation, and we
  can do that by enhancing student achievement.

  Continuing to do what we do best, we can make Iowa's economy more
  competitive
  by diversification and by working to create more opportunities for the
  citizens of Iowa.

  We need to continue to promote industry in Iowa.  This can be achieved by
  supporting and promoting the Right to Work law.  Iowa's status as a Right to
  Work
  state is an important tool for luring good-paying jobs to Iowa, most
  especially in the
  rural areas.  We must also continue to promote value-added agriculture and
  embrace
  the growing field of biotechnology.

  These goals that I have outlined aren't just my goals; they are the goals of
  everyone
  in this room.  They are the goals of the Iowans we represent.  We've had a
  history of
  working together to solve Iowa's problems.  We have for six consecutive
  years voted
  overwhelmingly to reduce taxes on hardworking families.  We have worked
  together to
  improve our schools.  We have worked together to clean up our environment
  while
  strengthening our economy.

  Not all of our ideas become law, but we still must remain committed this
  session
  and into the future to developing solid solutions to the problems facing
  Iowans.

  Finally, I also want to take this opportunity to thank the administrative
  staff and
  the staff of the central agencies for all the hard work they have provided
  in the past,
  and for their efforts in the upcoming session.  I look forward to working on
  these issues
  with each and every one of you.

  REMARKS BY THE MINORITY LEADER

  Senator Gronstal addressed the Senate as follows:

  Thank you, Madam President.
  Madam President and ladies and gentlemen of the Senate.  First of all, I'd
  like to
  welcome everyone back this year, the new members, those of you that moved
  from the
  lower chamber to the upper chamber, those who won re-election last fall on
  the
  campaign trail and the holdover Senators; it is good to see you.

  Normally, these opening day speeches provide a litany of issues designed to
  appeal
  to a host of different constituencies and interest groups.  I'm going to
  depart from that
  tradition today and talk about just one issue: Who will teach our children?

  Yesterday, I drove to Cedar Falls to drop off my younger daughter at UNI.
  Sara is
  pursuing a degree in elementary education and wants to specialize in
  talented and
  gifted.  I'm proud of her.  We all know from experience and from research
  that good
  teachers make a difference in the lives of students.  In fact, the quality
  of the classroom
  teacher is the single most important predictor of student success.
  I would like my daughter to become a teacher in Iowa.  I would like her to
  become a
  member of that that elite group, a group of teachers that are among the best
  in the
  nation.

  Unfortunately, the future of teaching in Iowa is uncertain.  We are fools if
  we
  assume that Iowa student achievement will continue to be number one or
  number two
  while Iowa teacher salaries are 35th in the nation.  Eventually, either
  student
  achievement will decline or Iowa teacher salaries will increase and better
  reflect their
  success with students.  The current imbalance will not continue.

  We must take bold steps this year to reward those great teachers that have
  given
  our children such a good start.  If we fail to act now, we will lose them to
  states that
  value education more than we do.  We must show the next generation of
  teachers that
  we recognize their professionalism and will reward it accordingly.

  And we must act now.  Forty percent of our teachers will retire in the next
  ten
  years.  There will never be a better opportunity to ensure a bright future
  for quality
  education in Iowa.

  If we do the right things this year, Iowa children will continue to have the
  best and
  the brightest teachers and their school achievement will reflect this.  If
  we do the right
  things this year, three or four years from now there will be a good chance
  my daughter
  will want to stay in Iowa.

  If we don't do the right things, I fear I'll have to visit my grandchildren
  in Texas or
  California or one of those thirty-four states that value education more than
  we do.

  Democrats stand here today committed to work with you in a bipartisan way to
  solve this challenge.  Both Democrats and Republicans promised to address
  this issue
  during the last campaign.  Now it is time for us to sit down and work
  together to make
  sure our children get the education they deserve.

  We must commit significant new dollars to this effort.  This session's
  response to
  the crisis in education can't be just another political shell game.  We must
  do better
  than the majority party's last effort in this area, the one then Governor
  Branstad
  referred to as "hesitant halting half steps."

  We will help no one by funding teacher salaries by crowding more kids into a
  single
  class or by stealing from technology funds or by decimating staff
  development budgets.

  Recruiting and keeping the best teachers possible for our kids, that should
  be the
  defining issue of this session.  Let me also briefly say what this session
  shouldn't be
  about.  It shouldn't be about playing politics.

  Election years are about defining our differences.  We have just come
  through one
  of the closest and most divisive national elections in our history.  What
  Iowans want
  and need now is for us to solve problems.

  Let's give Iowans a break from partisan politics for this session and make
  this year
  about securing our children's future.

  Thank you, Madam President.
