Senator McCaslin: “Ladies and gentlemen, Cowboy Hat Day developed, by God look at Kline, Senator Kline. Where did you get that hat and when do you have to take it back? Or if they’ll take it back, I’m not sure about that. Cowboy Hat developed from the Red Hat Day which all you wonderful wonderful lady Senators developed including crowds in the gallery with red hats on. So, we developed-Senator Honeyford, was this your idea or mine? You can have it because it’s one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of in my life. Anyway, I went along with it and I just want to tell you because of my age and we’re talking about cowboys. I’ve got a list of cowboys I remember as a kid. There was Tom Mix. Does anybody remember Tom Mix? Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Ken Maynard. Do you remember Ken Maynard? How about Boots Randolph? Well actually, he’s a sax player but I thought I’d slip that in to see if any of you remembered. But this is a wonderful day and I wish to thank the President who is an absolute perfect gentleman. Probably one of the finest President’s that we’ve had in my twenty-six years on this floor. Probably is the finest since I probably want to make some speeches later on in the session, I want him to call on me. Senator Jacobsen and Senator Weinstein. Senator Weinstein. I know you’re a freshman, but try to pay attention to when a senior citizen is on the floor speaking. Senator, it could be my last. I know that your hoping it is but anyway. This is a great day and it will go down in the annuals of the Washington State Senate as Cowboy Day. They’ll be some other speeches made unfortunately, Senator Shin, what are you grinning about? Anyway, this is a wonderful day. I appreciate all you ladies with hats on, especially, Senator Rockefeller, oh your not a lady. Senator Rockefeller I’m glad you look splendid in your hat. A tall, slim, great attorney, anyway whose next?”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Roach: “Actually I’m humbled today, I got these flowers today because someone last night said at the gala that they had. I guess someone said 'Who needs Oprah Winfrey, we have Pam Roach?' and so they thought…but anyway. I guess that I wanted to point out that we forgot Dale Evans in that long list of cowboys and certainly cowgirls. I’m surprised and suspected that you didn’t remember Dale Evans and I remember, also Gene Autry, did you get him?”
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Roach: “Will Senator McCaslin yield to a question? Senator McCaslin, how is it that you did not list, I mean you seem to have forgotten, Dale Evans.”
Senator McCaslin: “Poor Senator Roach, the word I used was cowboys. Understand, she’s not a cowboy, she’s a cowgirl.”
Senator Roach: “Well, I appreciate that, but we don’t have any cowboys without the cowgirls!”

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Swecker: “Well, I noticed one of the previous speakers mentioned Hopalong Cassidy and I just wanted to share a historical note. I knew the double for Hopalong Cassidy and Hopalong Cassidy was afraid of horses so all the pictures of him on a horse in the distance were his double and the pictures up close riding a horse, he was on a dummy horse on the back of a truck. You know, it was going like this, and so a historical note. Thank you Mr. President.”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Rasmussen: “Well, Mr. President, I feel like I’ve been impugned. I am a cowgirl. Now how many on this floor have cows? Somebody’s got a cow? Ok, well then maybe but I also have a horse and I have sixteen cows and I really feel like I am a cowgirl but if you are concerned that maybe I’m not who I am that’s my horse and yet I don’t ride him. I, he’s in a cart. I’m in the cart, he’s pulling it. Ok, but I would really like to thank the good Senator McCaslin for bringing up this Cowgirl Hat Day.”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Honeyford: “Well thank you. I think most of us are all hat and no cattle, but there are a few that have some cattle. Myself? I haven’t had any since I got elected to this job but I would like to ask that you recognize some of the real cattlemen that are in the balcony that provide us the good food that we have. I would be very proud if you’d do that and also mention most of them are from the Fifteenth district. Thank you.”

"NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. A new section is added to chapter 60.08 RCW to read as follows:
(1) Any owner of property subject to a recorded claim of lien under this chapter, or contractor, subcontractor, lender, or lien claimant who believes the claim of lien to be frivolous and made without reasonable cause, or clearly excessive may apply by motion to the superior court for the county where the property is located, for an order directing the lien claimant to appear before the court at a time no earlier than six nor later than fifteen days following the date of service of the application and order on the lien claimant, and show cause, if any he or she has, why the relief requested should not be granted. The motion shall state the grounds upon which relief is asked, and shall be supported by the affidavit of the applicant or his or her attorney setting forth a concise statement of the facts upon which the motion is based.
(2) The order shall clearly state that if the lien claimant fails to appear at the time and place noted the lien shall be released, with prejudice, and that the lien claimant shall be ordered to pay the costs requested by the applicant including reasonable attorneys' fees.
(3) If no action to foreclose the lien claim has been filed, the clerk of the court shall assign a cause number to the application and obtain from the applicant a filing fee of thirty-five dollars. If an action has been filed to foreclose the lien claim, the application shall be made a part of that action.
(4) The applicant must give notice of the hearing to the lien claimant by providing copies of the motion, order, and any other documents filed with the court, to the lien claimant by first class mail, by certified or registered mail, or by personal service.
(5) If, following a hearing on the matter, the court determines that the lien is frivolous and made without reasonable cause, or clearly excessive, the court shall issue an order releasing the lien if frivolous and made without reasonable cause, or reducing the lien if clearly excessive, and awarding costs and reasonable attorneys' fees to the applicant to be paid by the lien claimant. If the court determines that the lien is not frivolous and was made with reasonable cause, and is not clearly excessive, the court shall issue an order so stating and awarding costs and reasonable attorneys' fees to the lien claimant to be paid by the applicant.
(6) Proceedings under this section shall not affect other rights and remedies available to the parties under this chapter or otherwise.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. A new section is added to chapter 60.08 RCW to read as follows:
The department of licensing, and the department's agents and subagents, shall not transfer title of a vehicle through the chattel lien process under this chapter and chapter 60.10 RCW unless an affidavit of sale and the following documentation is submitted: (1) A certified copy of the lien filing that is filed with the county auditor; (2) a copy of the letter, sent by the lien claimant via first class mail, and certified or registered mail, including the return receipt, to the address of the current registered owner notifying the current registered owner of the lien filing; and (3) an affidavit of service by mail.
Sec. 3. RCW 60.10.030 and 1969 c 82 s 4 are each amended to read as follows:
(1) A lien foreclosure authorized by RCW 60.10.020 may be summarily foreclosed by notice and sale as provided herein. The lien holder may sell, or otherwise dispose of the collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing. The proceeds of disposition shall be applied in the order following to
(a) the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and, to the extent provided for in the agreement and not prohibited by law, the reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses incurred by the secured party;
(b) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by the lien under which the disposition is made;
(c) the satisfaction of indebtedness secured by any subordinate security interest in the collateral if written notification of demand therefor is received before distribution of the proceeds is completed. If requested by the lien holder, the holder of a subordinate security interest must seasonably furnish reasonable proof of his or her interest, and unless ((he does so)) that is done, the lien holder need not comply with ((his)) that demand.
(2) The lien holder must account to the lien debtor for any surplus, and, unless otherwise agreed, the lien debtor is not liable for any deficiency.
(3) Disposition of the collateral may be by public or private proceedings and may be made by way of one or more contracts. Sale or other disposition may be as a unit or in parcels and at any time and place and on any terms but every aspect of the disposition including the method, manner, time, place and terms must be commercially reasonable which shall be construed as provided in RCW 60.10.070. Unless collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, reasonable notification of the time and place of any public sale or reasonable notification of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made shall be sent by the lien holder to the lien debtor, by first class mail, and registered or certified mail, and except in the case of consumer goods to any other person who has a security interest in the collateral and who has duly filed a financing statement indexed in the name of the lien debtor in this state or who is known by the lien holder to have a security interest in the collateral. The lien holder may buy at any public sale and if the collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations he or she may buy at private sale. Before accepting any bid or offer for purchase, the lien holder shall inform the bidder or purchaser of the existence of any prior lien or security interest in the collateral, and the identity of the holder of the prior lien or security interest. If the lien holder does not know this information, he or she shall advise the prospective purchaser of that.
Sec. 4. RCW 60.10.040 and 1995 c 62 s 6 are each amended to read as follows:
When a lien is foreclosed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, the disposition transfers to a purchaser for value all of the lien debtor's rights therein, discharges the lien under which it is made and any security interest or lien subordinate thereto. The purchaser takes free of all such rights and interests even though the lien holder fails to comply with the requirements of this chapter:
(1) In the case of a public sale, if the purchaser has no knowledge of any defects in the sale and if he or she does not buy in collusion with the lien holder, other bidders, or the person conducting the sale; or
(2) In any other case, if the purchaser acts in good faith.
The purchaser takes subject to any security interest or lien that is superior to the lien under which the sale is made. In the case of property that is subject to a certificate of title, the department of licensing and the department's agents and subagents shall not transfer title through this process unless the new certificate of title reflects the security interest that is superior to the lien under which the sale is made. If a new certificate of title is issued that does not reflect the security interest that is superior to the lien under which the sale is made, the holder of such interest may request and obtain from the department of licensing a replacement certificate of title reflecting such security interest, and showing the purchaser as the registered owner. The department of licensing shall notify the purchaser of the issuance of any replacement title.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. This act takes effect October 1, 2006."

Some of you on both sides of this aisle have come up to me and suggested that it’s inappropriate for me to be bringing this hat in for a Cowboy Hat Day because this is not a cowboy hat. I just want you to know that it’s been my experience that whenever I’m around cowboy’s it’s probably necessary to have law enforcement close by. I would say in this room it’s very appropriate to have law enforcement close by, so just wanted to clarify that. Thank you.”.

This was a courageous, very courageous, woman. A woman who was very quiet but continued to work for non violence in the spirit of her husband and of course dedicating that she would have a holiday, and the remembrance from her husband, and that was signed by President Reagan and it was a wonderful time for her. In her memory, and for the work that she has done, Mr. President I would ask that we have a moment of silence in her memory. Thank you.”
