The Honorable, The Senate:
The written motion provided to the media today following the meeting of the Senate Committee on Organization related to the committee's action regarding Senators Moore and Carpenter was a draft document that was not intended to be released.
The committee, instead, offered a verbal motion that was changed in great detail from the document that was mistakenly released.
I am truly sorry and I take full responsibility for the error.
Below is a copy of the verbal statement that was voted on in Senate Organization. It is the verbal statement that was made and voted on by the full committee.
"Senators Moore and Carpenter will submit letters of apology for their action yesterday by the end of todays' session. these comments will be spread upon the Journal."
This motion was adopted by the committee on Senate Organization by a vote of Ayes 3, Noes 2, October 23, 2003.
Sincerely,
Senator MAry PanzER
Senate Majority Leader

I'm not sure how many of you realized it, I know I didn't, but because we recessed last night instead of adjourning, that meant members of the Sergeant's staff had to stay overnight until we reconvened this morning.
