STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNAL
Re: Minority Report to Senate Bill No. 6416
Senate Bill No. 6416 imposes a legislator's presence in the classroom. There is no requirement of training for the legislator in course development or classroom presentation. This lack of credentials (with or without the school's instructional staff in the classroom, as allowed by this bill) is not in the best interests of the students. This measure presumes that legislators have some "special offering" to student attainment. The measure does not include state-wide elected officials, local elected officials, or members of the executive or judicial departments. Legislators have traditionally been "guests" at schools but now will be "paid guests" by receiving per diem. This measure is presumptuous and self-serving and should not be passed as another intrusion of the Legislature with school district operations.

STATEMENT FOR THE JOURNAL
Re: Minority Report to Senate Bill No. 5403
Individual citizens, anywhere in the state of Washington, are already free to purchase fluoride tablets and rinses for their own uses and for the dental care of their own children. Indeed, with parental permission, school districts can already administer fluoride treatments to school children, as well. There is no need, therefore, for public utility districts, or for any other governmental district or body, to consider putting fluoride in otherwise pure water supplies. A political majority should not impose health care choices on a minority.
SENATOR NEIL AMONDSON, 20th District
SENATOR PAM ROACH, 31st District
SENATOR JAMES E. WEST, 6th District
MOTION
At 6:27 p.m., on motion of Senator Spanel, the Senate adjourned until 9:00 a.m., Monday, February 7, 1994.
