“Mr. President, I want to visit with my colleagues about something that hasn't happened in Iowa for over 100 years. Over the weekend, the Iowa State football team completed their regular season play. The Cyclones are having a noteworthy season.

The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.”
