The following remarks were delivered on the House floor by Representative Johnson, R.:

Mr. Speaker, members of the House of Representatives and the citizens of this great state. We have all gone through a very difficult period. My past actions have affected each and every one of you and they have spread out across this state with a lot of people having a whole array of opinions. I understand the seriousness of those actions, more than anyone, and as I said earlier today and I will say again how deeply sorry I am to you individually as members of this body. I am deeply sorry for what my actions have done in terms of the institution of the House of Representatives. To the citizens of this state, I again say I am sorry. I will, by my actions, continue to work very hard at being the person that I am today. I understand that this body is split on what the ultimate consequences should be for me. As I said earlier, the consequences that this body ultimately chose, and whether it had been expulsion or as it turned out, will still not mirror the consequences that I have applied to myself. Personal consequences are much greater than either legal consequences or service in the Minnesota House of Representatives. Again, I say I am sorry.

In the Journal of the House for the 1996 Session Lyndon R. Carlson from District 46B will be referred to as Carlson, L., and Skip Carlson from District 52A will be referred to as Carlson, S.

Carruthers moved that the House adjourn. The motion prevailed, and the Speaker declared the House stands adjourned until 2:30 p.m., Thursday, January 18, 1996.

Edward A. Burdick, Chief Clerk, House of Representatives
