COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNOR

The following communication from the Governor was presented:

May 23, 2002

The Honorable Mary Kramer
President of the Senate
State Capitol
LOCAL

The Honorable Brent Siegrist
Speaker of the House
State Capitol
LOCAL

I hearby submit the Proclamation setting the Extraordinary Session of the Iowa
Legislature to convene at 10:00 a.m., May 28, 2002.

Sincerely,
THOMAS J. VILSACK
Governor

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, the 2002 Extraordinary Session of the Seventy-ninth General Assembly
adjourned pursuant to House Concurrent Resolution 125, and

Whereas, since the General Assembly approved the state budget for fiscal years
2002 and 2003, the state has experienced a dramatic change in revenue projections,
and

Whereas, Iowa along with most states and the federal government experienced a
large reduction in final pay income tax returns and a correspondingly large increase in
taxpayers due refunds, and

Whereas, as a result of the Revenue Estimating Conference action on May 7th,
general fund resources available to the state decreased by $205.5 million in fiscal year
2002 and $220.1 million in fiscal year 2003, and

Whereas, by law, both the governor and the legislature must rely on the Revenue
Estimating Conference's estimate in preparing and approving the state budget, and

Whereas, due to recent action by the Revenue Estimating Conference in lowering
revenue projections, I did not approve most of the budget for fiscal year 2003 as passed
by the General Assembly because it was no longer a balanced budget, and

Whereas, we must maintain a balanced budget that funds the vital state services
that Iowans rely on everyday.

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 10:00 a.m. on the 28th day of May, 2002, and to that end I do call
up and direct the members of the House of Representatives to convene in the Supreme
Court chamber at the State Capitol and members of the Senate to convene in Room 22
at the State Capitol at 10:00 a.m. on the 28th day of May, 2002, for the purpose which
the assembly is convened, namely the matter of revising a fiscal year 2002 and a fiscal
year 2003 state budget 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 23rd day of May in the year of our Lord two
thousand two.

THOMAS J. VILSACK, Governor

Attest:
