Counties. I'd be glad to answer any questions.
PRESIDENT:
All right, Senator Coffey has moved to concur with House
Ameddment No. 1 to Senate Bill 2007. Any discussion? Senator
Bruce.
SENATOR BRUCE:
Thank you, Mr. President. There was some questicn about
this concurrence when it first came before the Senate. We've
had a chance to get the actual appraisal, the one piece of
property in question has an old highway upon it, and that is
why the value was so low. The farmer that is going to get
the land back will have to remove the actual concrete slabs,
fill in the ditches, and the value of the property is appropriatez
that it be given to the...actually the ilandowner that one time
owned the land, and it's-..it is not a bargain, is just
exactly what the land is worth. And with that explanation
from the department, I see no reason we should not concur with
the House amendments.
PRESIDENT:
A11 right, Senator...the question is, shall the Senate
concur in House Amendment No. 1 to Senate Bill 2007. Those
in favor will vote Aye. Thos e opposed will vote Nay. The
voting is open. Have al1 voted who wish? Have a11 voted who
wiàh? Take the record. On that question, the Ayes are 56, the
Nays are none. None Voting Present. The Senate does concur
in House Amendment No. l to Senate Bill 2007, and the bill

SENATOR RHOADS:
Thank you, Mr. President, and members of the Senate.
House Amendment No. l in the House deleted Ehe C average or
the...senator Martin's amendment to the scholarship award
maximum level. Now, that is not the reason I'm going to
non-concur. The reason is, that the Governor indicated very
strongly last night that he would veto this at the two
thousand level, notwithstanding the fact that it's passed
b0th Houses, and the question has arisen as to whether or not
we would be better off having the nineteen hundred level go
into effect immediately rather than waiting till the fall.
And I think we need to discuss this in Conference Committee,
and therefore I'm going to move that we do not concur in
House Amendment No.

gave them more, I Gink. So, I would suggest strongly to you
that we vote No on this. Don't 1et these folks have al1
the money they want to operate. It doesngt make any difference
how much we give them, they're going to need more. And theydre
going to spend more. This is a No vote.
PRESIDENT:
Further discussion? Senator Regner.
SENATOR REGNER:
Well, if they'd just spend it wouldn't be so bad, butthey throw it away, on an incompetent operation. urge a
No vote on the motion to concur.
PRESIDENT:
Further discussion? Senator Johns.
SENATOR JOHNS:
I just canft believe Ehese two guys talking like that.You know I went through this, and they gave the Department
of Children and Family Services a quarter of a million dollars

Rhoads, I Ehink they're still on nineteen hundred. What the
two amendments did, Amendment No. l replaced a hundred and ninety-
nine thousand dollars in operations. Amendment No. actually
is a forty-seven thousand dollar reduction, so it's a net increase
really of about a hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars.

PRESIDENT:

SENATOR RHOADS:
Well, Senator DeAngelis, were you on the Floor just
a minute ago when I moved to non-concur in 1559, and explained
the reason for döing that? But you want to go ahead with
the money anyway?
PRESIDENT:
Senator DeAngelis.
SENATOR DeANGELIS:
Well, Senator Rhoads, if I heard you correctly, you did
not, in fact, imply that you were seeking to change the grant
line from nineteen hundred dollars. You were talking about
changing the date.
PRESIDENT :
Senator Rhoads.
SENATOR RHOADS:
Senator DeAngelis, the point thah very frankly, the Senate
President has made to me, is that if, in fact, the Governor
makes good on his threat to veto my bill at the two thousand
dollar level, we would, in fact, be penalizing the very
people welre trying to help by waiting until the fall. And
it might be better to go with the nineteen hundred level now
then waitruntil the fall. Now, whatever you want to do about
the appropriation level is fine, but I think we might be better
off getting it..-thàt into a Conference Committee as well, be-
cause hefll just line item veto that.
PRESIDENT :
Senator DeAngelis. Oh, I beg your pardon, Senator Walsh.
SENATOR WALSH :
Senator DeAngelis, will you yield?
PRESIDENT:
Indicates he will yield. Senator Walsh.

Yes, Senator Martin, as I understand it, the reason for
this is no difficulty with Ehe amendments that are on the bill,
but the fact that House Bill 1400 is going to be used as the
vehicle for the legislative Reference Bureau Advisory Bill,
which will be an'amendment of..mas I understand it, about one
thousand pages. I think we ought to mention that now, justbecause it...itls going to come as a terrible shock when the
members see But it is, in fact, the LRB Revisory Bill,
and House Bill 1400 appears to be the only convenient, available,
bascially non-controversial vehicle for that purpose. Is
that a...an accurate statement?

SENATOR DEMUZIO:
Parliamentary inquiry on this...this House Bill 3365,

recede from a11 the Senate amendments, and I think that's the
proper course. Thànk you, very much.

House. Senator Buzbee, for what purpose do you arise?
SENATOR BUZBEE:
Mr. President, I have a parliamentary inquiry. and the
whole membership might be interested in this inquiry. We have
just run inEo the strange situation where a Conference Committeemembership was changed, the first Conference Committee membership
was changed by the House after the first Conference Committee
got five signatures, and that's all they could get. Then instead
of appointing a second Conference Committee, they went back and
changed one of the members of Ehe first, said we made a mistake,
retyped and now have six signatures. . It doesn't make any difference
'cause it's Ehe St. Louis Metropolitan Airport Authority, and I think
everybody in here knows it's gokng to go down the tubes in this
Chamber, I certainly hope that it does. But that's certainly an
extremely strange method of doing business. If you can only
get five signatures on à Conference Committee Report, would it
not then be proper to say we cannot agree and call for...
for the formation of a second Conference Committee?

attention. On the first Conference Committee Report, I tried
for four or five days to get that...that committee together,
I could not get that committee together, and could only get one
signature, that was my own. So, however I met with Representative

Flinn who is Chairman of this Conference Committee Report and
told him what my problem was, and so by not being able to get
a committee by the chairman put together, and...and not getting
an additional signer on the Conference Committee Report that
I had,l went back to Representative Flinn and he just got a
new...a first new Conference Committee with the five names that
he could get on the.-.signature on the Conference Committee. So,
there really wasn't a first Conference Committee meeting, and
this is why he went back and made a new Conference Committee.
So, I want the record to show that. Now, I do have six sig-
natures on the first Conference Committee...second Conference
Committee Report that he brought over here. Now, which one
will this one be?
