Edward Cook Committee Meetings And Floor Action Committee meetings dominated much of the third week of the short session. Deadlines mandated in the parlimentary procedures of the House made it necessary for most bills to be out of committee by the end of the week if they were to have any chance of being considered by the full House. With the increased committee activity, more pieces of legislation were eligible for a vote. The following is a summary of the more noteable bills we passed this week and sent to the Senate for consideration. First Law Enacted On Thursday the Governor signed the first bill from the 1986 session to be entacted into law. SB 1, preventing hostile corporate takeovers of Indiana companies, was approved by the Senate and the House in record time. The bill attempts to keep Indiana companies from being "greenmailed”, a term used to describe the situation when one person or company purchases a large amount of another company's stock and threatens to take over the victim company. Many companies have avoided such takeovers by buying back the stock, but often at inflated prices. It is hoped that the bill will keep major Indiana companies from coming under the control of out-of-state businesses which may not have as much concern for the well-being of the communities in which the Indiana companies are located. Capital Punishment This week the House approved two bills concerning capital punishment. The first (HB 1095, passed 88-8) makes dismemberment of the murder victim an aggravating circumstance which allows the death penalty to be considered as an option in sentencing. The other (HB 1008, passed 62-37) allows the state to carry out the death penalty by use of lethal injection rather than electrocution of the convict. Supporters of the measure say the lethal injection will allow the organs of the convict to be used for transplants. Opponents of the bill say it makes execution less fearsome and, thus, lessons its effectiveness as a deterrent to vicious crimes. Fam Aid Farmers will be able to cut their overhead expenses thanks to two bills which exempt certain farm equipment from the gross retail sales tax. HB 1248 (passed 99-0) exempts grain bins and related driving equipment and HB 1106 (passed 94-31) exempts drainage tile used for agricultural purposes.

Criminal History Checks For Daycare Employees Prospective employees of daycare centers and other childcaring facilities will be required to submit a criminal history affidavit stating that they have never been arrested or convicted of any offense relating to child sexual abuse if another bill (HB 1152, passed 95-2) we approved becomes law. Applicants for licenses to operate such facilities will also be subject to the requirement. Vietnam Veterans Two bills concerning veterans of the Vietnam War were also approved this week. One measure (HB 1038, passed 100-0) establishes a committee to recommend a memorial honoring Indiana’s Vietnam veterans and proposes a site for the memorial. Another (HB 1052, passed 91-5) extends the life of the Agent Orange Advisory Commission. The commission was established last year to study the toxic defoliant Agent Orange may have had on Indiana veterans who were exposed to the chemical while serving in Vietnam. The life of the panel is extended for three years to coincide with a federal study commission. SERVICE NOTES ARMY & AIR FORCE HOME TOWN NEWS — Pvt. Michael T. Cox. son of Susan M. Rusch, of Rural Route 5, Walkerton, has completed an Army food service specialist course at Fort Jackson. South Carolina. The course trained personnel to prepare and serve food in large and small quantities. Students received training in baking, field kitchen operations, and the operation of an Army dining facility.

Indiana, was commissioned an Army second lieutenant upon graduating from the Officer Candidate School, Fort Benning, Georgia.

The sonar system of discovering objects under water was developed by Paul Langevin around the end of World War I. There’s no documentary evidence that Louis XIV actually said “L’etat c ast moi* (The state, it is I). Tradition has it that Voltaire attributed it to Louis but actually made it up himself. Napoleon, however, did say it to the French Senate in 1814. I SAVES LIVES I
