MESSAGE FROM STATE OFFICE


WASHINGTON STATE INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY

110 East Fifth Street, Suite 214

P. O. Box 40999

Olympia, Washington 98504-0999

January 17, 2001

Secretary Tony Cook

Secretary of the Senate

Legislative Building

P. O. Box 40482

Olympia, Washington 98504-0482

Dear Secretary Cook:

      The 2000 Legislature directed the Washington State Institute for Public Policy to study the mission, programs, and usage of the state library (EHB 2487, Section 607 (7)). Key questions that guided this study were as follows:                 Are there options for redefining the roles and functions of the Washington State Library (WSL)? What value can the WSL add to the delivery of information to the legislature and state government agencies? Is the current location of the WSL on the capitol campus essential to its effective operation?

      The study’s findings suggest the following recommendations regarding WSL: Accelerate the move from print to online content by joining a larger purchasing unit with the publicly funded academic libraries. Focus WSL’s activities more sharply than they are today. Implementing a limited market system by instituting fees for service would help clarify the relative value of services for users. Implement a more aggressive book “weeding” campaign. Reduce the physical presence of WSL on the capitol campus and develop more appropriate space for technical and service functions elsewhere.

      If you have questions, please call me at (360) 586-2768. 

Sincerely,

ROXANNE LIEB, Director


      The Washington State Institute for Public Policy study on the mission, programs, and usage of the state library is on file in the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE


      Senator Carlson: “Thank you, Mr. President. I request a moment of personal privilege. Distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, it is my honor to present to you a gift that I hope you will receive in recognition of my opportunity to be able to say to you, what an honor it is to served with you, our citizens of the state of Washington. A couple of comments about what you are going to receive inside the sack that is on you desk. I would like to suggest to you that the area that I represent--”


REPLY BY THE PRESIDENT


      President Owen: “Senator Carlson, the President doesn’t see a sack on his desk.”

      Senator Carlson: “Mr. President, we will be sure to acknowledge that. I was not instructed that it included the presiding officer. We will see that that is taken care of.”

      President Owen: “Senator Carlson, you are totally out of order.”

      Senator Carlson: “Duly noted, Mr. President. I apologize that the leadership didn’t instruct that correctly to me. Mr. President, if I could continue, I am sorry that the Senator from the Fourth District isn’t here, because I am sure that he would also have appropriate comments to deal with my gifts. The medallion of the city of Vancouver is one that I wear proudly. It is in recognition of District Forty-nine that I represent, along with Hazel Dell. The city of Vancouver is noted for its historic connections, one of the major areas that I hope you will come and visit soon. The city of Vancouver is also a location of one of the prime sites where Lewis and Clark visited. In your packet of material, you will notice that Lewis and Clark’s route is included, especially when I recognize and ask you to consider the sites from Washougal to Vancouver Lake and Richfield. We have some wonderful places that you would be able to see where Lewis and Clark came two hundred years ago.

      “Ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, when Lewis and Clark came to the Northwest, they found that the fish that the native Americans were providing them was often too rich for them to eat. Therefore, in your packet, you will find an item that might have been used as a substitute for Lewis and Clark. Now, what they found editable and probably more to their pallet was what they survived on as they crossed the Rocky Mountains. What they survived on was horse and dog. However, the fried jerky that is in your packet is beef, so I would encourage you to feel that is perfectly legitimate for you to enjoy.

      “Finally, it is my honor to say to you that it is a distinguished opportunity to serve with you and I will take care of the delinquent responsibilities to see that the appropriate president office, Mr. President, will also receive his gift.”


PERSONAL PRIVILEGE


      Senator Sheahan: “Thank you, Mr. President. A point of personal privilege. I would like to begin by thanking the gentleman from the Forty-ninth District for his wonderful gift, but I would like to remind the Senator from the Twenty-fifth that we are still waiting patiently. It has been quite a while--and also, the gentle lady from the Twelfth District. We are waiting patiently for your gift. Again, we need to make sure that the President receives a gift, as well. Thank you, Mr. President.”
