Challenge of One-Man Calendar Making
Raises a Flurry of Tempers on the Floor
JUNEAU UP> — A flurry broke
out on the floor of the House just
before adjournment Wednesday
when Minority Leader Bruce Ken
dall challenged the one-man cal
endar making procedures follow
ed by the Chairman of the Rules
Committee.
Kendall objected to published
statements by Rep. William
Erwin that the general obliga
tion bonding measures which have
been introduced in the house, in
cluding the big ferry bill, will not
be considered until the appropri
ations bill is ready for presenta
tion.
“I would like to know why we
must wait until the last few days
of the session to consider these
major bills which involve so much
money,” Kendall said.
Erwin replied that he consider
ed the bonding measure an integ
ral part of the state budget—and
should be considered with the
budget.
“Is that the opinion of the Rules
Committee—or is that your pri
vate opinion ” Rep. Henry Pratt
asked Erwin.
“That is my private opinion,”
Erwin replied.
Rep. Donald Harris, a mem
ber of the Finance Committee,
climbed in with the opinion that
he felt tieing the bonding issues
to the budget was “purely politi
cal.”
Rep. Mark Jensen asked Erwin
when he anticipated a Rules Com
mittee meeting to decide when the
bonding measure would be
brought out to the floor.
“I don’t anticipate a Rules
Committee decision,” Erwin re
plied. “That decision will be made
in Democratic caucus.”
Kendall jumped to feet to say
that he had asked the original
question “because the Legislature
is judged as a whole — not as
Democrats or Republicans — and
I want to see us out of here in
60 days.”
House Speaker Warren Taylor
rapped his gavel and asked Ken
dall if he would be asking such
questions “if the press was not
in the chamber.”

“Yes, I would, Mr. Speaker,”
Kendall replied.
“And if that’s the way you feel
about it, the next time I’ll call
for a caucus of the entire House
and clear the galleries and we’ll
thrash this thing out.
“I’m not going to be a nice guy
any longer,” Kendall concluded.
“You never were a nice guy,
Mr. Hellenthal,” Taylor replied,
getting his identities mixed and
dissolving the House into laugh
ter.
Rep. John Hellenthal had been
sitting quietly through the entire
exchange.
Kendall and Rep. Jim Binkley,
the two minority party members
on the Rules Committee, said after
the House adjourned that they
would move to have the daily
caelndar of the House approved
by the entire committee in the
future.
