Pursuant to Article IV, Section 11, of the Minnesota Constitution, we the undersigned members, register our protest and dissent regarding the comments made by the Minority Leader, Steve Sviggum, on the floor of the House in arguing against House File 3843, the Capitol Investment bill, on Thursday, March 12, 1998.

Representative Sviggum's intemperate invective, and the public venue of their utterance, are injurious to the institution of the House of Representatives and defamatory to its members. Statements such as his foster cynicism and alienation of the public from their elected representatives.

We undersigned Members of the House of Representatives request that Representative Sviggum make public apology to the 28 Republican and 68 DFL members who cast "aye" votes for the passage of H. F. No. 3843 and that said apology be duly entered into the Journal of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
