Excerpt from Index to the Transcripts of the House Debates of the Seventy-Eighth General Assembly, State of Illinois: January 10, 1973-January 8, 1975 The 78th Illinois General Assembly, which convened in January of 1973 and adjourned two years later, was one of the busiest in the history of the state. House and Senate bills were introduced in the regular session; almost of them became law. In addition, two state budgets were enacted, and several major issues were studied in six special sessions. Unfortunately, despite the existence of all of this activity, and although floor debates have been recorded since the fall of 1971, these proceedings have not been published. They have, of course, been available to the public as the 1970 Constitution requires, but this has been through the legislative offices and the Index Department of the Office of the Secretary of State on an individual request basis rather than through a formal and complete publication. In an effort to make the proceedings of the legislature known to the citizens of the State of Illinois, the floor debates from the 78th General Assembly for the House were put on microfiche, indexed, and sent to Illinois documents depositories and library systems throughout the state. This was an undertaking which involved the efforts of many people The Speaker's Office taped and transcribed the debates. The Micrographics Division of the Office of the Secretary of State did the filming, and the State Library distributed the microfiche and prepared the bill number index. The Index Department of the Office of the Secretary of State provided the staff for the typing of this index.
