PRESIDENT WELCOMES SENATORS TO FIFTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE
President Pritchard: "The President would like to welcome all of you here. This will be a fascinating session and I'm sure you are already keenly aware of that. Each person in this body represents about a hundred thousand people. That is a great responsibility which I know you are aware of. We have a lot of work to do and if we don't get at it, we'll be celebrating the Fourth of July still in this same chamber. I know none of us want that.
"I pledge to you that the Chair will be fair to both the majority and the minority. We want everyone to have their say; we want everything to be out here, so it can be worked on. We want to be sure that the process is as open as is possible and reflects the very best in our society. The challenges are great; the needs are great and I know that you people are up to the task. We will proceed with this session of the Senate, one in which I hope when we look back years later, we can say, 'I was a part of that session which accomplished so much.'"
APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
The President of the Senate appointed a committee of honor consisting of Senators Owen and Amondson to escort the 1993 Lakefair Queen, Jannette Wise, to the Senate Rostrum.
The President introduced Queen Jannette Wise and the visiting dignitaries representing the Lakefair celebration, who were seated in the gallery.
With permission of the Senate, business was suspended for Queen Jannette to welcome the Senators to Olympia.
The committee of honored escorted Queen Jannette Wise from the Senate Chamber.

REMARKS BY SENATOR GASPARD
Senator Gaspard: "Mr. President and members of the Senate. I wish to place in nomination the name of the Senator from the twenty-seventh legislative district, Senator Lorraine Wojahn, as the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
"She is a long-time friend and colleague and it gives me great honor to place her name in nomination as a presiding President Pro Tempore of our Senate--Senator Lorraine Wojahn. We have known her for a number of years and we have known that long before it became politically fashionable, Senator Wojahn was in the forefront of a number of issues and the forefront of consumer's rights and womens' rights. She played a major role in the successful battle to add the Equal Rights Amendment to the State Constitution. Senator Wojahn, also, had a strong hand in making community property and credit laws more fair for all women across this state.
"She has many other interests and those honors and recognitions that she has received over the years just tell part of the story. She has received several honors for her work as the prime sponsor of the legislation creating the State Department of Health, from both medical and hospital groups alike. In addition, The Home Care Association has named her Legislator of the Year. She has also been recognized by the Developmental Disabilities Planning Council, The Washington Coalition for the Homeless and organizations representing displaced homemakers.
"She has served her district and the people of this state very well. I take great pride in nominating Senator Lorraine Wojahn for the Office of President Pro Tempore."

REMARKS BY PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE WOJAHN
President Pro Tempore Wojahn: "First, I want to thank all of you for not laughing when I took a flying leap off the podium a few minutes ago. I didn't expect that there were stairs there. I should have remembered after twenty-four years that we have stairs around here.
"As the new year and the new session begins, I think it is going to be an exciting time for all of us. I hope that I can work--and plan to work--with each of you individually and collectively to make this coming session a success and to face the problems that the state of Washington faces with vigor and with enthusiasm and support.
"It is fun to look out over the Senate now, because I see a lot of members of the distaff side. I didn't think this would ever happen, but it is happening and I congratulate you--all who won election--and especially the women. I am delighted to see all of you out there and hope that we can work successfully together. I will do my part. Thank you very much."
The committee of honor escorted President Pro Tempore Wojahn to her seat in the Senate Chamber and the committee was discharged.
ELECTION OF VICE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE
The President declared nominations to be open for Vice President Pro Tempore of the Senate.
REMARKS BY SENATOR PELZ
Senator Pelz: "Mr. President, I nominate Senator Al Williams for the office of Vice President Pro Tempore.
"Mr. President and members of the Senate, in rising to nominate Senator Williams to this office, I rise to nominate a friend of mine for many years. I had the honor of serving as Al's secretary in 1976 and we have been close friends ever since. Al Williams has served the thirty-second district of Seattle for twenty-two years in the State Legislature, including the last fourteen years as member of this body. He is known as an architect and a community activist in the Wallingford and Fremont areas.
"Senator Williams is the author of the state's policy and the city of Seattle's policy on historic preservation and has been a leader in this field for two decades. Senator Williams led the battle in 1977 to remove the sales tax on food, which has made our state tax structure more fair for everyone. He has been a leader for many years on energy issues particularly in the late seventies and early eighties, when we faced some very difficult decisions in this area. I think the most important credential that Senator Williams brings to this position is that Senator Williams is a very thoughtful legislator.

ELECTION OF SECRETARY OF THE SENATE
The President declared nominations to be open for Secretary of the Senate.
REMARKS BY SENATOR SNYDER
Senator Snyder: "Mr. President, I rise to place the name of Marty Brown as Secretary of the Senate.
"It is indeed with a lot of pride that I rise to nominate Marty Brown for Secretary of the Senate. Our good fortune was when a fellow student of Marty's talked him into coming to Washington and to go to UPS Law School. Marty's fellow student lasted about two weeks and Marty stayed and eventually ended up working for the Senate. He spent a brief time over with the courts and decided that his lot in life was with the Legislature. He came back and has served in several capacities. He was the attorney for the Lieutenant Governor for quite a length of time. He has been the Democratic Caucus Staff Director and now he is going to move up to Secretary of the Senate.
"I know my predecessors in the job always taught me that as Secretary of the Senate or Chief Clerk of the House that you serve all members, regardless of party. I am sure that Marty will carry on that tradition in a very fair manner. He has the background for it; he has the ability and he has the friendliness to do the job.
"I went back and looked through Journals to see what had been said in previous nominating speeches and seconding speeches for the Secretary of the Senate. Marshall Neill was a Senator from Whitman County and his remarks were, 'When it comes to getting the work done and the organization of the Senate, there isn't any room for party politics.' I think that has been the way it has been in the past. I know Gordon Golob has performed his duties very well the last five years and Marty will continue to do that. I also looked a little further back in the Journal and I found that Vic Zednick who was a Senator back in the fifties and a former Secretary of the Senate said, 'Frankly, I think it is more important to be Secretary of the Senate than a Senator.' Now, at one time I may have believed that was correct, but I don't anymore. It is with a great deal of pride and delight that I nominate Marty Brown for Secretary of the Senate."
REMARKS BY SENATOR GASPARD
Senator Gaspard: "Thank you, Mr. President. I would also like to second the nomination of Marty Brown as the Secretary of the Senate.
"While Marty's beginnings may not go back as far as one of his predecessors, namely Senator Snyder now, who started his career as an elevator operator and then became the Secretary of the Senate and has now taken a lesser job as State Senator.
"Marty had his beginnings with his work with the committee services, worked with Lieutenant Governor Cherberg and went then to the Office of Counsel for the Senate and then became our staff director for our caucus. Throughout all that time, Marty has developed a reputation among all of us as a very open, very fair individual and a trusted advisor and in that capacity will now be of benefit to the entire Senate and not just our Democratic Caucus--with the fairness and openness that he will have in his administration following all of his predecessors and doing an outstanding job for all of us."
MOTION
On motion of Senator Jesernig, the nominations for Secretary of the Senate were closed.

REMARKS BY SECRETARY BROWN
Secretary Brown: "The first thing, I thank you all for your support. I would like to assure Senator Fraser that I have no intention of elevating to the office of State Senator as one of my predecessors did. I would just like, once again, to thank you for your support and let you all know that the Office of Secretary of Senate is available for each and every one of you. Whatever you need, we will try and be accommodating. I know that is the tradition of my predecessor, Gordon Golob, who has run a wonderful office and we have not made many changes in the office because of the good job that he had done and that Sid had done, and I would just like to say that if I can do half the job that my two predecessors did, I think you will be well served."
The committee of honor escorted Secretary of the Senate Marty Brown to his seat in the Senate Chamber and the committee was discharged.
The President declared nominations to be open for Sergeant at Arms of the Senate.
REMARKS BY SENATOR PRENTICE
Senator Prentice: "Mr. President, I rise to place the name of Richard Fisher for the Office of Sergeant at Arms.
"It was in 1969 when I first because acquainted with Richard Fisher when I was a night staffer at Valley Medical Emergency Department and he was a state trooper. The integrity and the courtesy and the cheerfulness that he displayed are qualities that he is going to need getting us through these tough and intense times. I could go on and on about him, but he and I have an agreement. I don't tell all I know about him and he won't tell everything he knows about me. There is a lesson to be learned here and one is that you better be nice to people because you never know when they are going to come and rise and haunt you. It gives me great pleasure to nominate Richard Fisher for the Office of Sergeant at Arms."
REMARKS BY SENATOR GASPARD
Senator Gaspard: "Mr. President and members of the Senate, I, too, would like to second the nomination of Richard Fisher as our Sergeant at Arms. Richard brings with him some outstanding qualities and resumes from a lot of service to state government. He has served two Governors--has been assigned to the Governor's Office from the State Patrol.
"He has had to work with many of us, but more properly put, maybe he has had to put up with a lot of us in the Governor's Office. It is with great pleasure and pride that Richard will serve all of us now as our Sergeant at Arms."

Sergeant at Arms Fisher: "Well, you know when I first asked about this job--was asked about the job--I really didn't know what my title was going to be until I saw my name plate. I always thought it was Sergeant of Arms.
"I want to thank everyone for their support. We are going to make the Sergeant at Arms Office as professional as we can. We are here for everybody. We are in Room 93. My staff and I are here to help you. We can fix almost anything except parking tickets. Thank you very much."
