Journal of the House

First Extraordinary Session, 91st General Assembly

EIGHTH DAY, Friday, September 14, 2001

Speaker Kreider in the Chair.

Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.

O God, with flags lowered and heads bowed, we come before You. You are Holy beyond our telling. We know we must not trifle with You. Show us the poverty of our spirits and the leanness of our souls. Bring us to a place of deeper trust and faith in Your Eternal truth.

You are present to all whose hands are wounded and to all whose heart is broken. And now, again, we seek Your perfect blessing upon this, our nation, upon those who grieve, upon those who feel uncertain, upon those who must lead. The race is short, even at its longest, and we would run it well.

And now, on this DAY OF REMEMBRANCE, remind us, this House, its staff and all Americans, that You are our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. To You be glory and honor. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

The Journal of the seventh day was approved as printed.

SPECIAL MESSAGE

WHEREAS, by my Proclamation dated August 24, 2001, I convened the Ninety-First General Assembly of the State of Missouri in the First Extra Session of the First Regular Session; and

WHEREAS, some clarification of the scope of numeral 1 of the Proclamation dated August 24, 2001, may be helpful to the General Assembly.

NOW THEREFORE, I, BOB HOLDEN, GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, pursuant to the authority vested in me as Governor by the Constitution of the State of Missouri, do hereby clarify the matters specifically designated in my August 24, 2001, Proclamation for consideration by the General Assembly by stating the following:

Numeral 1 of the Proclamation dated August 24, 2001, which refers to "expanding Medicaid eligibility for seniors," is meant to guarantee that Medicaid eligibility is expanded to the benefit of seniors, but is not meant to preclude expanding Medicaid eligibility more generally if the General Assembly determines that such expansion is appropriate.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto

set my hand and caused to be affixed the

Great Seal of the State of Missouri, in the

City of Jefferson, on this 14^th day of September, 2001.

/s/ Bob Holden
