In The Name And By The Authority Of The State Of Iowa
Proclamation
Whereas, the 2002 regular session of the Seventy-ninth General Assembly
adjourned pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 124 on April 12, 2002; and
Whereas, throughout the legislative session that adjourned last week, I repeatedly
called on lawmakers to pass a budget that adequately funded vital state services, and
Whereas, the budget lawmakers passed underfunds vital educational, child safety,
health care, and public security services, and
Whereas, Iowa has ample resources to adequately fund vital state services while
maintaining a balanced budget, and
Whereas, Iowa cannot afford to underfund these vital state services, since such a
step could jeopardize the security and welfare of Iowa families.
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 April 22, 2002, 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 the Senate chamber at the
State Capitol at 9:00 a.m., on April 22, 2002 for the purpose which the assembly is
convened, namely the matter of approving a fiscal year 2003 state budget that protects
Iowan's priorities 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
18th day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand
two.
