                                                SENATE CHAMBER, TOPEKA,
     KANSAS
                                           Thursday, April 10, 1997--9:00 a.m.

  The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.
  The roll was called with forty senators present.
  Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:
     Heavenly Father,
     Being called ``Senator'' could possibly cause me to get puffed up with
   pride if it were not for the off-setting realities.
     I represent 60,000 people, but what percentage of them recognize me on
   the street?
     Most people are impressed when I tell them I'm a Senator until they find
   out I'm not in Washington!
     I vote the sentiments of my constituents 90% of the time, but all they
   remember is the 10% I didn't.
     My name is in the media more often than most people, but it usually is
   in a negative sense.
     I have a sticker that permits me to park close to the State House, but
   the spaces are usually all filled.
     I work hard, put in long hours, drive many miles, not only during the
   session, but year round in order to serve the needs of my constituents,
   but the response consists mostly of how greedy I am.
     I know it sounds like I'm complaining, Lord, but I'm really not. I
   pretty well knew what to expect when I ran for this office. All I'm saying
   is that it is very difficult to get the big head in this business!
     I pray in the Name of Christ,
     AMEN

  (1)  At intersections or other places where traffic is controlled by
traffic-control signals or police officers; or

defined as a moving violation in accordance with rules and regulations
