tempore Sukup in the chair.

PETITION FILED
The following petition was received and placed on file:
By Murphy of Dubuque, from one hundred six constituents from
the eighty-fifth district petitioning the State Legislature and the
Governor to consider the judicious use of 5% of the state's "Rainy Day
Funds" for the purpose of providing a short term "fix" to cover
services to those children, families and seniors whose lives are most
devastated by the necessary and drastic cuts in state funding. We
want this directed to those services where there is a federal match, in
effect, doubling our money. We believe implicitly in the importance of
sound fiscal policy. We also believe in justice. We believe the econ-
omy is in a short downturn and is already rebounding.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Leave of absence was granted as follows:
Carroll of Poweshiek, until his arrival, and Larson of Linn on request of Rants of
Woodbury.
