convention:
This has got to be from Cal Hultman. Those who can’t see this, it’s a fish drawn on
a piece of paper. Cal and I, years ago, used to go at it in committees and on the floor,
and one time he cornered me and he said, “You know, you’re making that argument so
often, it’s starting to smell like dead fish.” And from that point on—you have to know
me, I did make the arguments quite often—from that point on, Cal and I used to slip
each other a fish when we got tired of listening to what the other was saying.
Cal, I haven’t said a word yet, and you’re already giving me a fish.
This is a very heady place to stand. I am deeply honored to be here. One of your
previous speakers from a few years ago mentioned to me the other day when he heard I
was going to speak that it was a great opportunity—all the old folks start stumbling
back in here, limping down the aisle, and reminiscing about how great things were.
And I said to myself, you know, I’m one of those old folks. And I’m not limping yet.
Although by the time this session is over, I might well be.
It is an honor, honestly, to be here—to be asked to be a speaker to this assembly.
When Senator Drake invited me several weeks ago, I assumed it was just to give a few
comments at the luncheon. I had no idea until later that it was an invitation to speak
to this joint session. And I was first humbled, and secondly scared, because there is,
frankly, nothing more petrifying than to attempt to speak to former colleagues and
peers. Especially when I realize that those so many years ago, we all may have been
colleagues, but I was far from a peer.
As some of you might recall, I was the ripe old age of 22 when I was first elected
and 23 when I took that first oath of office. I was so wet behind the ears, I didn’t even
know I was wet behind the ears. To this day, it still amazes me that the people of
Dubuque were so willing to take a chance on someone this young. Not only young, but
Dubuque had the reputation as being somewhat provincial, and I wasn’t even a native.
Yet they sent me here anyway—probably to get me out of town.
I spent the six shortest years of my life in this beautiful building. Short—because
the time just flew by—and this building—where the past meets up with the present
and always seems to create reasons for hope for the future.
My memories of those years are too many, and for some, probably too boring to
relate to you in total. I’d like to try to share some of those thoughts with you anyway,
and share them in no particular order.
When I first arrived here I was so naive, I actually thought I could live well on the
pay that we were given. Forty dollars a day including expenses for 100 days, not a day
more, and one round trip home a year at ten cents a mile. It was the best reason that I
could think of for being from Dubuque. A 400-mile round trip equaled forty dollars,
and it was like receiving another day of session pay free. I soon realized how poor I
was, and when the session ended, the realities became clearer.
As a Catholic schoolteacher, my job was gone as of January, and I had to find other
work. We adjourned, if I remember rightly that year, May 23, 1969—the earliest exit
of our years here. Two days later our twin daughters were born, and life changed
again. But as tough as we thought things were then and to our own circumstances,
they were nothing compared to the problems that others who came those same years
faced in their own situations. People who came here with successful businesses, only to
see their client base erode as the weeks of absence from home began to take a toll on their
business. Some actually lost their companies in just a few years of serving the same
people that they were trying to represent—and serving them, frankly, for peanuts.
1968, some of you might recall, was the year of the constitutional amendments—
annual sessions were approved, annual salaries and expenses, restructuring and
resizing of the legislature to 100 members of the House and 50 members of the Senate
and home rule approved for our cities and towns that year. We acted quickly in those
days, implemented the major changes mandated by our fellow Iowans, and became
known nationally as one of the most progressive legislatures in the country. As some of
you might recall, I quickly earned the well-deserved reputation as someone who would
enter nearly any debate for almost any reason, single-handedly adding days to the
length of each session.
In 1970, on one occasion—on the occasion actually of our daughters’ birthday—we
brought them to the floor for a look-see. One of them grabbed the microphone and
began gabbing away, prompting the Speaker of the House Bill Harbor, at that point, to
comment that they clearly were their father’s daughters.
Suzanne and I developed many lasting friendships from our six years here, and we
gained some valuable life lessons as well. I gained a lot of insight into the geniuses of
personal beliefs and personal feelings from guys like Senator George Milligan on the
abortion issues. George and I came at it from very different sides, but both of us, in
talking about it, learned that our beliefs were deeply rooted in our own personal faith.
I learned about the deep-seated integrity of legislators who put their jobs here
ahead of their personal businesses, their own personal wealth—most vividly taught to
me by two guys in the Senate, Gene Kennedy and Chuck Laferty.
I learned to argue with Cal Hultman in committee during the day, and at night
spend a lot of time playing bridge without any sign of the clash that took place just
hours before.
I watched Bill Gannon and Grumpy Fisher sit across the aisle from each other and
fight like two mad cats, yet wink when it was over like they were family.
I watched Dewey Good, who sat over here and was a throwback from the turn of the
century—as street smart and savvy a legislator as there was—change minds in the
heat of a debate with fewer words than anyone in the chamber.
I learned also what it meant to really be in the minority. As I recall, our 100 plus
House members had only 24 of us who were Democrats, and we were so few that one
particular day the House passed three bills while we were in caucus before they
realized we were gone. Bill Harbor ruled that it was in order, and Bill Kendrick, the
Clerk of the House, found a rule somewhere that backed him up.
Back in those days, neither chamber was air-conditioned and tools like funnels
hadn’t been invented yet. So sessions would last well into June. And things would get
rather heated, both figuratively and literally. Well, the Senate had a coat rule.
Members were required to wear a coat whenever the Senate was in session. I was
never one to really follow rules and wasn’t really good at doing what I was told. So one
particular day, with the help of some misguided and almost unemployed pages, I made
my own coat out of a copy of The Des Moines Register. Art Neu was Lieutenant
Governor and was sitting in the chair when I walked in. I’d never seen him get so
angry so quick. The coat disappeared, never to be seen again. The only comment I
heard afterwards was from someone to the effect that it was the preferred use for that
paper. I don’t believe that anymore, if anybody’s listening.
Those years came and went all too fast in the midst of rather extensive change of
the state. They were learning years for me. They contributed greatly to my ability to
find gainful employment in the years ahead, and to a great degree, those years helped
me become the person that I am today, good or bad. And for that I am personally,
extremely grateful. Politics is an honorable profession, an honorable calling, and let no
one tell you anything different. It’s filled with honorable people, men and women who
clearly are not in it for the money, but who truly wish to make Iowa an ever better
place to live. We are fortunate, you and I, each one for being able to call this beautiful
land our home—some by birth, some by chance, all by choice.
I’ve had an over forty-year-long love affair with this place. In my brief time on this
earth, I’ve had the opportunity to visit all 50 states and over three dozen countries.
Honestly, I can find some reason why I’d be able to live, even enjoy living, in every one
of those places. But nothing compares to Iowa. And I often find myself asking why,
what is it that makes Iowa, in at least my mind, so special? It’s not the winters, which
can be brutal, but at the same time, can be incredibly beautiful. It’s not the summers
which can be hot as an oven, yet as inviting as any place on earth I’ve ever been. And
we don’t have the mountains and oceans of a lot of states. So what is it? Why do I love
this place so much? I’ve come to believe that it’s the people. The geniuses of those who
call Iowa their home. It’s the concern we share for one another, for our past, our
present, our future. It’s the care we share for the land and for all our natural
resources. And it’s the way we dig in and fight for what we believe in. How we can
stand touching noses, as Meredith Wilson said, for a week at a time and never see eye
to eye. He had to have this place in mind when he wrote those words. While at the
same time each of us will put out our hearts, our souls, our own possessions to lend a
hand to anyone in need. It’s no wonder why groups like United Way set records year
after year all across Iowa. We’re a people of faith, diverse faiths who seek guidance
each in our own way and who try to live our lives in response to the guidance we
receive. We’re a people of hope who, while playing to the past, reach out to the future
with the knowledge that somehow, some way, what lies ahead of us will be better than
what has already come. We’re people of love who care deeply about our country, our
state, our family, our friends, our neighbors, and our God. All this is what I believe
brought all of you to public service. You care about what happens in your collective
careers. And in your collective caring, you care about what happens to Iowa, because
Iowa is a treasure worth preserving.
All this is what brought this current legislature together this January—to deal with
some of the toughest issues this state may ever face, and to do it in the most bi-
partisan fashion I’ve ever seen in my 35 years of following this process. All this is what
allowed me to say, “Yes,” to the Governor when he called this past winter and asked me
to head up the Department of Economic Development. It wasn’t sanity. It was a belief
in this state. And a desire to want to make a difference.
The problems we face as a people are huge. But the spirit of Iowa, Republicans and
Democrats, rural and urban, east, west, north, south, will lead us to solutions which
will make life better for all of us and our children. Why do I believe this? Because we
always have and we always will. It’s what we do best as Iowans.

The motion prevailed by a voice vote.
The Senate returned to the Senate chamber.
