only a House Resolution it really is an oblique
criticfsm of the President of the Daited States and
QJ#' L'might add the Senate of the Dnited States, both of
vhich have endorsed a polfcy of recognizlng China.
I think everyone is aware of the facd that a condftfon
of the establishmeat of that relatlonship was an ex-
clusive recognition of China. I thfnk it's inappropriate
for the General àssembly to sit in judgment on the
President of the Unfted States and on 1 e Senate of t%e
Eaited Gtates that has to approve suck matters. I
think if we just care the problems of tbe State of
tllinois we'd be doing quïte well. I think we are
getting into an area that is really quite over our
head and I would urge that a lfttle humility on our
part vould go a long way and I would urge that this
kind of Resolutlon which puts us as the subcommittee
of the Dnited States Senate relating to foreign relations
in the Middle East ought not to be eacouraged .''
Speaker Fltnn: l'Representative Friedrfch. ''
Friedrich: HMr. Speaker, Members of the Rouse. Shis had
a pro Comaittee hearing and want to remind Representati e
Katz that I'm a citizen of the United States and the
President of the Dnfted States works for me, I donît
vork for him. And 1$11 tell you thls that vhen we
start deserting our friends by Presidentfal Acty then
I think weêve gohe a long way. If you would put this
to a vote in the State of Illinofs is would carry
20 to t and as far as 1'm eoncerned I'm speaking for
the people in my dïstrlct and I think for al1 of the
people in he State of Illinois. thfnk it is our
business what goes on ia Washington because I'm a
citizen of this country and certainly thls leglslature
has an undo iaterest in it besldes. Because a 1ot
of those products that are sold to Taiwan come to the
State of Illinois and it is our business.'f

a great deal of goods from the United States and more Ithan we buy from them. It's very important in Illinois i

States. Just last November 20th here in Springfieldi
the tbird procurment mission from the Republfc of Chlna
purchased $32,000,000 worth of soy beaas- Now tkat's

of the General Assembly, the eyes of the Republic
of Tafwan are oa you and they will /'ramatically affect
and I say dramatically affect theLamount of trade we
might expect them to do with us here in Illinois. And
$32,000,000 worth of soy beans is no small matter. They
:ad purchase over 30 million dollars worth of other
goods on the second procurment mission that eame over
last Juaes believe it was, and that included farm
equipment and road equipment, boat, bulld, road building
equlpment. So this is not some Resolutioa that we
should be taking lightly and I urge the Membership
to vote in favor of the gentlemans Resolution.''
Speaker Flian: ''The geatleman from Lake, Representative

we *ave to look to our Calendar and sometimes the
Resolutions are not in the Bi11 books and quite often
we donlt kùow the exact'laùguage of the Resolutfonu l wonder if the

what's important to a11 of us aad to the United States

I feel, personally that as a past soldier in the
United States Army for many years, that we do have a
right to express what we think to our national Represen-
tatives. Some of them, I honestly believey don't know the'r
rear-end from their front. To tell you the truth. And
feel that a small nation like Tawain which has gtood
upon its own, developed to incredible against a1l pose
sible, al1 posstble opposition. Have created a small
but a very vttal manufacturing and exporting business.
They're friends of ours. They are in a sense, an
England, off the European coast. The same relation to
the. they are to a great Chiaese coast and 1 doa't
mean to run down the Chinese. I certainly think we
have a right andla duty to' express our opinion as to
what the Federal Government or the position ani policy
of Federal Government. After a11 they are our Represen-
tatives and we are the Representatives of the people of
this state. If *he majority of you here feel that we
should 1et the Federal Congress know what wefre doing
itss our obligation to do I personally want to
support this Resolution because I think itîs my duty
representing my people and the State of Illinois to 1et
our elected Representatives know that we still support
this small, but vital nation. donît want to see them
over-run and believe i'f ,1 remember rightly some of the
terms of the agreement of the Carter and the Chinese, tha
we acknowledge that they have a right in due time to
take them over. That means we condem a 1ot of people.
The same kind of things that's been going on, has gone
on in the past, in Korea with the Chinese armies. The
same thing has gone on in Cambodia, Vietnam, the destruct-1fon of free loving people thlt want to remafn free.
We should at least get them on moral support. So I would
vote aye.''

0n the Speaker's Table appears House Joint Resolution
number 19. Representatfve Bradley.lî
Bradley: OYes, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the
House. The gouse Joint Resolution 19 is very similar
to the Resolution Mr. Friedrich just passed. It
resolves that we implore the Dnited State to explore
al1 avenues towards continuing and maintaining our
economic and trade relations with Tawain. Very,
I had a call fron the, what used to be the, their
Chicago office of the Republic of Tawain and their
Embassy to ask we amended ity they feel so strongly
about the Amendment that they that I Just changed
'recognfzed' to 'shall treat'. The United States
'shall treat' Tawain as a separate nation instead

Marovitz.''
Marovitz: ''Thaak you very much Mr. Speaker andi tadies
and Gentlemen of the House. H.J.R. sets up a
Joint Housé Senate Commlttee on tong term eare. Very
similar to the Committee that we set up last session
to revise the Mental Health Code which was chalred
by Senator Daley. In view of the voluminous number of
Bills that have been filed on long term care and
nursing home abuses which will be highlighted on
the ABC 20/20 show, showing nurslng home abuses in
the city of Chicago and around the State of Illinois.
It was felt that the best way to handle thls would be
to set up a Joint House S'enate Committee to study the
long term care sltuation in the nursing home situation.
Not to stop legislation that is presently in the hopper
and which may pass, but other legislation which may be
in lnterum Study and which maybe highligbted by other
investigations that are going on. would ask for
a favorablet consideration of H.J.R. 22.11

Marovitz: HWe11, mainly because this particular ' procedure
was used in revising the Mental Hea1th Code which as
you know wa: a voluminous and very complex area. It II
worked very, very well then. Meetings were held during !I
the summer, during times we weren't in session so that II
t only would one particular Committee in the House lnoIor one particular Committee in the Seaate be notified
as to what was going oa in the investigation and deliber-
atioa, but both mfnority Members in ie Rouse and majority
Members in the House and Democrats and Republicans in
the Senate would know at ë e very same time aad work
itogethers proceed together to draft legislation to
solve the abuses so that when the legislation was
actually put in, b0th Democrats and Republicans in the
House and Senate would be well informed. In other words
if it went from, to a regular Committee it would bave ,
Ito go through the sane process in b0th areas and the
members of the Committee in t:e other House where it
wasn't considered would not be as well informed on the
deliberations as they would ff they were involved at
every stage. It worked very well, Don with the Mental kï!
Health Code which Representative Sandquist was involved
with and Senator Sdhafer was involved vith. It's a
very complex area as was the Mental Hea1th Code and I
think it's the best way to proceed and would allow for
maximum communieation between Members of the House and
the Senate about a11 of the deliberations.n

that recreating a commission for a four year period,

of difference between surface mining for coal and surface
mining for the agrigate industry. That is why we
guaranteed that we would establish this agrigate mining
problem study commission to look into that to see if
there is anytfxftùerway that we could enhance reclamation
of gravel pits and stone quarries. For that reason
I thtnk it should be an ongoing commission not probably

the House, House Bill 527 does one thing and one thing
only. It provides for a special library district to
be able to mortage for the contruction of a new building.
other libraries in Illinois have that privelege in
responsibility of mortaging for the construction of a
new library and the district would only have the author-
ity to improve an existing library. Now there's two
library districts in nyy in my dtstrict that have
been faced with this problem and they can proceed by
simply p4inting a sign on an o1d garage or some thing '
and say, 'This is llbray' and then prgceed to construct
a new library. That's a11 the Bill does. It doesn't
call for any additional levy. It doesnït call for
any increased taxes and I asked for a favorable response:!

extend any money above their corporate levy limit
presently. If they want to go above their statutory
limit, then they must have a full referendum.''

trict or districts?'l

Speaker Redmond: ''Representative Pullen.''
Pullen: ''Wi11 the S'ponsor yield for a question? What
is the current situation on building a library. What
problem is this Bill going to solve?''
Yourell: '1We11, perhaps If11 explain it another way. Muaici-
pa1 libraries are currently able to mortgage for the
erection of a new library building. This Bill would
give the same authority to special district libraries.
The difference that would then exist between the two
authorizations, is that uuniclpal libraries are required
to execute mortgages on existing facilities and sites.
Since there is at least one special library district
that does aot yet own facilities, the authorization is
needed to mortgage the site to pay for the erection of
a aew library buflding. This Bill provides that author-
ization.''

their levy for whatever purposes they want. But if
they went above their limft, then ov course, theyfdi!hav e to go to a referendum

Pullen: HBut under thls Bill they would not have to have
a referendum to take advantage of this Bill for mort-
gaging?''
Yourell: HNo, there would be no purpose for a referendum.
lhey're using funds that are already there for their use.
A11 wefre doing is saying that they have the'authori4y
to construct a new buflding. They now have the authority
to inprove an existing building. Whatever condition
that building might be in. They could tear down an
o1d garage and build a new building but this is an
evasive way to get around the law. Al1 we're doing
is changing the 1aw to comply with that authority that 'Enunicipal libraries have presently so that they canil
construct a new library if they want to as well as to l
improve existing facilities without'going above their E
!tax levy. I fhey go above the tax levey for any constru-

exactly what is a physician assistant. Is it a doctor?
Is ft a... exactly what is it?l'
Mahar: ''A physicians assistant is an fndividual who has a
degree or two degrees and wbo has passed a test, it's
a nationwide test administered by the Department' of
Registration and Education. The indlvidual is under the1 I' supervision of a physician. He cannot, he or she
cannot work on their own. Itls a level of competency
in 1e. in le field in which they can do a lot of
ordinary vork as I use the term sick call. They can
ansver the calls of the average individual who has
that type of prcblem. If there's anything beyond that
of coursev a physician must be consulted and they work
under direction of a physician. There are about 150 to
75 in the State of Illinois and they are now in ëe
process of betng tlsed.''
Mulcahey: ''Yes, it's my understanding you also that there's a
salary, the salary range is anywhere from $15,000 to
$25,000 a year?'î
Mahar: 1'We11 that I think will depend upon the negotiation
of the job.. Bare in mind this is a voluntary procedure
that the Department of Corrections can use if they so
desire and the people are availakli and they can reach
an agreement.''

under his' direction. Just the same way as a nurses
work under the directionuof a physician in the hospital.

if it becomes law, there would still be the requirement
that every physicians assistant be assigned directlyj '' : .t under the supervision of a fully licensed physician
I assume?''( 1lMahar: ''That ts correct.''1
Sattertbwalte: OWith thà salary scale thatls proposed here,
' do you have an'y idea how that compares to the salary,1 l11 scale for a nurse who's
currently working in thelgepartment of Corrections?f't
1 Mahar: HWe11 there are various levels of nurses and depends
on what they do. I've discussed this w1th sone of the
nurses from the Nurse Association and thoselthat have
college degrees or have two degrees are doing generally
the same vork or possibly at a more sophisticated level.
3are in mind, this is an expansion of what we aow allow
for tbe Department of Mental Health m d it's dependent
upon several things, that is being able to find these
people afailable that they work with a physician ad
that there's a job there for them.''
Satterthwaite: 'Q 'm in agreement that if we can enhance the
medical services that we#re provldïng in the corrections
facilfties we ought to do that. My concern is whether
or not people coming in as physicians assistants who
do not have trafning equal to nurses trainfng may be
coming in at a higher starting salary and so thatês
why I#m asking for clarification in terms of a beginning
level salary for a licensed practical nurse as compared
to the licensed physfcians assistant at a beginning
level. You don't have a figure for the nurses beginning(salary?''
Mahar: îîWe1l as I understand it the nurses right now are
hiràd based upon their being a four year college
graduate or whatever or a shorter degree on that basis.''
Satterthwaite: HYes; thes therefore; they do in most cases
have greater training than a physicians assistant would
have and this is whv- l-lm conce-rned if v-e are starting+ l.'t .4 r s oruge . 1 - G E N E R A L A S S E 5, I B L Y 4 .- 2 q - 7 9t -7>fj qtv . .:i' smwv.a os Iuulmols1 x . < W ' T

physicians assistants at a higher salary scale thanl
1 a nurse would get with greater training and that may: Inot be true that's why I'm trying to verify what thet il
I compartson is.,'
l Mahar: ''Wel1 I certainly have no objection to the aurses,
in fact, t:ere are some physicians assistants, in fact, tbep-
couple . that talked to in regard to this Bill were
nurses and had proceeded on to'take the examination
and become physfcians assistants so I presume thatI 1
the area is open to these people and tbere's a reason
why the nurses aTe not on the same category 1 think1I is because of the Nurses Associatioa and they may very
well be coming along to establish by statutes their
ability to perform similar type services on similar1 ,,' circumstances.
Speaker Redmond: ''Representative Jaffe.'î

Mahar) ''I am not familiar with he number on the Department

an optional procedure which up to the present time
has not been allowed in G e State of Illinois. This
is another method by Khich individuals in the prisons

ere passedy actually sponsored by the inority Leader
! that we were told on how physicians assistants were
going to cure that departqent. The truth of the matter
is the physicians assistants cost more than nurses, they
1 cost a 1ot more than nurses and there are very assistantsin the State of Illinois today. And a11 physfcians
assistants that I kaow of are not on the publtc payroll
but theyfre rather in private enterprise. So I think
that the concept of the Bill might be al/ight, but
I think itls another phony approach by the administration1
to say, 'Here, we're going to solve the Department of
Correctlons problem by employi:g physicians assistants.
There are no physicians assistants to employ. There a11
in private industry. stâte just never been able to

a male and nurse is a female which isn't the case,

assisting a prison system and that's what this Bill is

Liability of Judiciary may hear House Bills 2215,
2658, 2168, 2299, and 3262. Inadvertently the Commi,ttee
Clerk :ad failed to notify the svbcommittee clerk t'hat
these Bills had' been assigned to t:e Committee, there
is a Committee meetiag studying similar Bills tomorrow
mornlng at 9 a.m. and we would ask leave that these
Bflls may also be heard at that time.n
Speaker Redmond: ''Representative Schlickman?'ê
Schlickmaa: OWould the Gentleman yield? Which subcommittee
are we referring to?f'
Gettyl ''The Product Liability subcommittee.''
Schlickman: 'îAnd tbese are Product Liability Bills?''
Getty: 'lTheyfre Product Liability Bills sponsored by
Representatives Daniels and Bradley respectively and it
was through a clerical error that they were not posted.''
Schlickman: I object.''
Speaker Redmond: ''Any further? Does the Gentleman have '
leave? Representative Schlïckman is oblecting.
Representative Getty.''
Getty: HWe1l then I would then move to suspend the
appropriate rules so that they may be heard in Committee
for t:e same reasons Ikhave prevlously stated, and
agaln state that neither the Majority Mtnority Leaders
have any objection.''
Speaker Redmond: MDo you persist in your objection Represen-
tative Schlickman? Parriamentarian ad/ises me if you
object it will take 107 votes.. no. no. no. you can't
put the motion until it's on the Calendar and if you do
aot object to take 107.1,
Schlickmanl 'HWe11 Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. We a11
know how controversfal and sensitive Product Liability
Bills are. There is a number of fnterested citizens and
I don't think that we ought to hear these Bills vhether
it be in subcommittee or full Committee without an
opportunity for a11 interested parties to participate.

And it's on that basis that I object.'f i
Speaker Redmond: 11 Representative ...Getty.'' '1
cettyt PWe11 Ild like to point out to the Gantleman that
there is already a Product Liability subcommittee
meeting scheduled for tomorrow that had been properly
posted. notice having been given. There was a prior
meeting at which time tt was announced that other
Bills were coming through and that this is only a
! subcommittee not a full Committee and that therepwould
!be ample time for action and there would be the require-
ment that these Bflls be again posted before the full
Committee, before any Committee action could be taken.
And I Just wonder if in view of that if the Gentleman
vouldn't withdraw his objection.n
Speaker Redmond: 'îRepresentative Schlickman do you persist
in you objection? If you do you can't put the motion,
it's just that simple.''
Schlickman: ''We11 Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. A
burden is being placed on me when a11 Iîm concerned
about is that interested parties have the opportunity
for imput attthe subcommittee level which in this case
probably is more important than the Commïttee level and
I donft know anything about the 3i11s except that
they deal with the subject of Product tiability which
fs a sensftfve controversïal area and a1l I want to do
is be assured that the interested parties will bave the
opportunity of participating at tbe subcommittee level.
I donlt thlnk that by suspending the rules that these
Bills can be heard today of tonorrow guarantees citizen
participation b0th by the manufactures and by the
attorney.''

And I guess stand on point personal privelege.
when a Sponsor of a Bill asks that it be po#ted
in the Committee and through no error in their part
the Bill is then assigned to a subcommittee but not
with the Sponsors not notified that there's even a
subcommittee in that Committee in we have people coming
down here to testify in that Committee aad thea wefre
notified that it's in a subcommittee but somebody
forgot to post it in le subcoumittee. That delays
the process and webre under a deadline here May 4 in
another week and I know that there has been objections
on this issùe so the only thing I can ask is that
the Committee members or the Committee chairman or
the Committee clerk, w%en a Bill is goiag to go to
a subcomnittee that the Committee clerk make sure that
al1 those Bills that are going to be in a subcommittee
that they be ppsted because now wefve got people down
here today and we have done everything according to the
rules to ask for the Bills to be posted and they were
posted fn the Committee but they were not posted in
the subcommittee so now what do we do vith our people
who are coming down 'to testify, we tell them to turn
around and wefll have them come back next week so'that's
fair for one... I guess the on1 thin I can re uest is

that if a sub... bills... a group of Bills are goiag
to a subcommittee then that a11 of those Bills be
posted when hat subcommlttee is going to meet. That
happedened in education and it worked out fine and this
particular case it seems to be some kind of a hinderence
to the process.''
Speaker Redmond: HThe rules provide that the Bflls can
be heard in Committee and anyone that is going to
come down bere to testify can be heard in the Committee.
Bradley: OThe chairman of that Committee put it into a
subcommittee.
Speaker Redmond: î'How'd he do that? Representative Katz.''
My purpose is that Representative Schlickman is within
his rights and it would seem to me that we a11 should
abide by the 1aw if he persists. Re need make no
apology. Maybe we ought to change the rules but that's
what the rules are. Representative Katz.''
Katz: HMr. Speaker, as I understand the Gentleman from
Mccleén he has a Bill that he thinks ought to be heard
in a) subcommittee'rof Judiciary 11 Committee. I think
hels right. I don't think anybody is hurt by having
the 3ïl1 heard fn the Judicfary 11 subcommlttee. Hfs
Bi11 was not on the notice that was posted, but his
Bill is of the same character. I have no objection
to bis Bill being heard in the subcommittee and if the
G.èntlemanls notion is to have his Bill heard in that
subcommittee suspending the appropriate rule so that
bis Bi11 is treated in ie same way that everybody else
who has a Bill in that subcommittee on the same subject,
I have no objection to it at all.''
Speaker Redmond: ''Representative Jaffe.''
Jaffe: HXeah Mr. Speaker in-all fairness I was not going to
speak on this, but you know I think two of the represen-
tatives that made alligations that we didn't properly
post these Bills. In all, in a11 honesty I must tell
you that last week aeither Representative Getty or

Representative Daniels were here. Representative Getty
is the vice, is that chairman of that subcommittee and
for his to try to put the onus on the clerk of the
Commtttee and on the chafr of the Commfttee I thfnk
it's really unconscionable. They were not here. Ycu
know they were not here to attend to their business.

talked to us. I support Representative Schlickman.''
