This is a typical day in S^priilgfield, during the 70th Illinois General Assembly. ? When the phone--in our hotel dboiirt--rings at 6:45 a.m., it's tiine to get up. The radio will bring: in me news while we wash and dr^ss. "then a feUv moments of prayerful neflection precede the ride doUn • wie elevator. Two morning newspapers are scanned in the hotel jpbby and the editorials are read Carefully. These may influence ('tain some semblance our judgement on pending bills. 1 A group of eighth graders and their teacher, from our district, dwalt US for breakfast in another , hotel. Sb, we hurry tq eat--with all fifty of them--to write in their -• autograph books, and to talk to them briefly about the General 1 Assembly and how it operates. We'll loqk to see them during the ; day, but'now we must hurry off because there's a meeting of the ; Senate executive committee at 9 a.m. Joint resolutions, commission bills, confirmations of appointments by the governor; these, together with most of the "reform" bills, are on the executive committee agenda. We discuss the bills for ah hour. Then wfe're off to the Senate Chamber. Lt. Governor John Wm. Chapman calls the State to order at 10 a.m. Our chaplain (who is a different person each week) invokes a blessing upon our deliberations, and we embark on first, second and third readings of Senate bills. We debate and finally pass a bill to regulate' lobbyists." It receives thirty-two votes (two more than a majority). We turn then to House bills in the Senate. T^ie bills are read by the secretary by title, and several House bills ^ are amended on second reading. Then the secretary reads eomttiittee reports. And--by this time-- it is 12:30. PROFBSiariRL DIRECTORS' m We hurry off for a half hour lunch period in the lounge. At 1 o'clock we look up our personal secretary. We read dozens of letters, telegrams and postcards that have been received on pending bills, and dictate replies. At 2 -o'clock, we meet with the Senate judiciary committee. We consider bills changing the criminal law and the probate law. The members of our committee are all lawyers, and the Chicago, Bar and Illinois State Bar associations are represented at our meeting and advice us on many of the bills. It's 3:30 before the meeting ends, and we must rush to the committee on highways and traffic regulations in order to preside as its chairman. We mainof order, , despite spirited debates on such issues as the maximum speed law bill, and a bill to substitute a tonmile tax on trucks. Senator Bill Connors and Senator Roland Libonati, veteran Democrats from the Chicago Wards, exchange quips and . indulge in "quick repartee-- to relieve the seriousness of our tasks. At .the end of. our debates most bills are voted out "DO PASS"--unanimously. We adjourn the committee meeting at, 4:30. For the next hour we are deep in mail again -- dictating replies and looking up the House bills (which are still in the House) about which sonie of our constituents have ^written. Occasionally we must report the bills Are no longer pending--in fact, they were either approved v-- or defeated -- long before the writer started his or her statement to us. We have time--by continuing our rushing--for a swim at the Elks' club.ana a quick shave before leaving to attend a "legislative dinner" sponsored by the Illinois State Bar association. By the time the acknowledgements of distinguished guests and the'diverting musical program are over, it's 10 o'clock. Back to our hotel room to'read bills, prepare debate for the next day's session, write letters to oUr wife and children (whom we seldom see these days), and to reflect quietly on the great issues still pending in the 70th Illinois General Assembly. Intersperse^ with the events of this day are numerous meetings with lobbyists (who urge support or defeat of various bills), conferences with fellow legislators (concerning bills oh the calendar), telephone calls, and meetings vpith State officers (involving errands and favors for constituents). Tomorrow will be very much like today--until, of course, June when this session comes to a close. RECREATION CENTER A recreation center of usefulness and beauty, available not only to the five million people of the ChiCago metropolitan area but to all Illinois citizens, will be provided by the planned: development of Illinois Beach state park on the shore of Lake Michigan in Lake county- Recommendations call for spending $2,665,000 at this' park during the. next two years.
