Saturday he believed the measure sent to him goes far beyond what is requested and which the department feels is desirable and He said there is merit to a prerelease transition program if handled wisely but said this extends the furlough pro gram beyond a reasonable The would have allowed up to 14 days furlough to any inmate if a member of his im mediate family were seriously ill or had if the inmate were to be interviewed by a prospective employer or if he were authorized to participate in a training program not available within the The measure also would have allowed the furlough if an inmate were participating in programs or activities that serve a rehabilitation this would not be in the best interest of the said Neither would it be fair to those who administer the furlough pro He

question facing the House as it resumes work Tuesday on the DOT it debated for two days last Senate Majority Floor Leader Clifton says the governor wont receive the in that form if he can help But a majority of the House wants the long truck provision in the and indications are that it will be added through an amendment prepared by Carl Richard the House floor manager of the said he has word from

Leader Edgar RDa said that in his opinion the governor and Lamborn are Theyll take it with the long truck amendment if the House passes it that he Creation of a DOT to develop a coordinated state transportation policy and plan is Rays 1 legislative But he already has vetoed a permitting the 65foot trucks on the highways which was passed earlier this Ray said in his veto message the would attract to Iowa interstate highways thousands of twin or double trucks which will only be using Iowa as a corridor to move between Illinois and states to the They will increase safety hazards for Iowa motorists and hasten wear and tear on the highways that must be maintained with Iowa tax he The voted twice last week to attach Niel sens amendment to DOT amendments which later were defeated and clearly is disposed to do so again Tuesday when he moves to add it to the main Nielsen says his amendment is so written that it would take care of most of the objections Ray listed in his veto It would permit the 65foot double bottoms only if they are starting their trips in Iowa or have a destination point in the They could travel only on highways and for no more than five miles off and then only on pavements 22 feet wide or wider designated by the Highway The amendment also would allow livestock trailers to be up to 60 feet
