STATE OF IOWA
Executive Department
In The Name And By The Authority Of The State Of Iowa
P R O C L A M A T I O N
Whereas, the 2002 Regular Session of the Seventy-ninth General Assembly
adjourned pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 124, 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 the 22nd day of April, 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 the 22nd day of April, 2002, for the
purpose which the assembly is convened, namely the matter of approving a fiscal year
2003 state budget that protects Iowans' priorities 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 18th day of April in the year of our Lord two
thousand two.
THOMAS J. VILSACK, Governor
