PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Sheahan: “A point of personal privilege, Mr. President. I believe we had a couple of Senators in the back of the room who gave their first speeches on the floor of the Senate this morning. I think, for one, the gentle lady from the Twelfth District, it is very appropriate since we honored Senator Sellar today that his replacement--in the very near future, present a gift to the rest of us for sitting through her speech. Also, the gentleman from the Forty-ninth District gave his speech as well. Maybe, since they are sitting together, the two of them could get together. We would love to have a wonderful gift from the Wenatchee area and a wonderful gift from the Vancouver area. Maybe we can work with you and in the very near future you could present that to us. We would be very appreciative of that. Thank you, Mr. President.”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator McCaslin: “A point of personal privilege, Mr. President. I want you two to know that he speaks for himself. I expect two gifts. I don’t know how gentle she is; I hope she is wealthy. Both sides of the aisle expect something that will be long remembered. An apple isn’t, because you normally eat that right away. Please study the issue very carefully prior to purchases. We look forward to those two gifts.”
Further debate ensued.
MOTION
At 11:52 a.m., on motion of Senator Betti Sheldon, the Senate adjourned until 12:00 noon, Thursday, January 18, 2001.
