Would the Members please take their seats and give their
attention to Mr. McCarthy."
McCarthy: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. It’s a great
pleasure today to stand before the House and present House
Resolution 1502. House Resolution 1502 acknowledges the…
the fine work that Executive Director Larry Matejka has done
for all of the people in the state in his position as
executive director of the Illinois Student Assistance
Commission. Larry has been the executive director since
July of 1980, so he’s been there over 26 years. And as
such, he is the state’s longest serving agency director. I
see that Director Matejka is up in the chamber here today,
so we’re glad that you’re able to be with us in the gallery.
STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY

But during Larry’s tenure at ISAC we’ve awarded over $5.7
billion to over 3 million different students during this
time. And being director there for 26 years, he’s actually
been director for more than half of the 50-year existence of
the Student Assistance Commission. All of us in the General
Assembly who’ve had the fine relationship of working with
ISAC know how cooperative Larry and his staff have always
been. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, you could
always go to ISAC and get the information that was
necessary, get it in a timely manner and… and also always in
a friendly gesture. And he worked very well with the Higher
Education Committee over the years. I know former Chairman
Judy Erwin would join me in thanking Larry for his fine work
for the… our committee. But the… unfortunately, Larry has
decided that it’s time to move along, so we’ll have to find
a new executive director in a couple of months. But we do
want to thank him for his fine service at the State of
Illinois and wish him all the best in his future decisions.
So, Larry, we salute you. Please stand so you can be
recognized by the Body."
Speaker Madigan: "Mr. Black."
Black: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and
Gentlemen of the House. I’m proud to be a cosponsor of this
Resolution with my good friend Representative McCarthy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, very seldom will you have the
privilege of working with somebody of the integrity and
concern and general knowledge that many of us have had over
the years with working with Larry Matejka. And let me… let
me just remind you of one thing. When somebody like Larry
STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
134th Legislative Day 11/16/2006
09400134.doc 13
retires you lose a lot of institutional knowledge and a lot
of institutional memory, but in Larry’s case… and… and it’s
a concern to me… I wish him well in his retirement… but I
want you to remember one thing, if you take nothing away
from Kevin’s Resolution and if you’ve not had the privilege
of working with… with Larry, Larry always was an advocate
for students seeking the opportunity of higher education,
and he didn’t let anything get in the road of that.
Politics, polls, however the wind would change, Larry always
advocated how can we maximize the amount of dollars that we
allocate for students who need financial assistance to go to
college. And with his leadership, I think ISAC is one of
the best, if not the best, college financial aid programs in
the State of Illinois, and most of that is due to Larry’s
hard work. And speaking for a number of students in my
district who would not have been able to attend college
without the Monetary Award Program or the very, very good
student Direct Loan Program that ISAC has run and run so
well, I want to thank Larry on behalf of literally hundreds
of students, many of whom I know personally would not have
been able to get their college education without the
outstanding work of Larry Matejka and the direction and the
love and the attention that he gave to the Illinois Student
Assistance Commission. We will be paying… his service will
pay dividends to this state for decades to come. Larry, we
wish you the very best in retirement. I wish you’d stay
another 26 years, but I understand that it’s time perhaps to
enjoy another phase of your life. Thank you very much for
the effort and the work that you have done on behalf of

higher education opportunity for people throughout the State
of Illinois."
Speaker Madigan: "Representative Myers."
Myers: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also want to add my
congratulations to Larry Matejka on his retirement. I echo
everything that Representative McCarthy and Representative
Black have said before me. In my years on the
Appropriations Committee for Higher Education it has been a
pleasure to work with Larry Matejka, and… as the executive
director of the Illinois Assistance Commission. I agree
that his best interest… that he has the students at their
best interest in his heart when he focuses on all of the
programs for the Student Assistance Commission. And I know
that he’s brought the agency along over the years into
providing outreach to many areas, many high school students,
many adult students that are interested in seeking MAP
grants and other student scholarships to continue their
education. We have students today that have been able to
receive an education were it not for Larry Matejka and his
help with the Student Assistance Commission. It’s a sad day
that we’re going to lose your services, Larry, but it’s a
great day in your life, I’m sure, when you… when you finally
are able to retire. But, we thank you for all of your
services over the years and we’re gonna miss you."
Speaker Madigan: "Representative Monique Davis."
Davis, M.: "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I, too, would
like to offer my congratulations to Larry on his long years
of service to ISAC. There are many students in the African-
American community who certainly would not be aware of or

have a possibility of going to college without the necessary
information and the timely distribution of the funds from
ISAC. Larry, I would ask, and I ask the Sponsor of this
legislation, to include all of us as Sponsors of this
Resolution to a person who has certainly served the state
well. Thank you."
Speaker Madigan: "Representative Turner."
Turner: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Ladies and Gentlemen of the
Assembly. The previous speaker mentioned about some
African-American students that have benefited from Larry’s
hard work and efforts. I’m here to attest to that. I was
one of those students that back in 1969 when I walked into
the financial aid’s office at ISU, Larry Matejka was the guy
there that helped made it possible for me to complete my
higher education. And so, I’m a living proof of what Larry
and his efforts and his… his willingness to help has
provided. And also having worked here for the last 26 years
and worked with him while he’s at ISAC, I can only commend
him. And as I say, he’s held true from the days in 1969
when he helped me personally at the ISU financial aid’s
office ‘til today, and we just wish him well and Godspeed."
Speaker Madigan: "Mr. Dunkin."
Dunkin: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Members of the House. I, too,
would like to express my congratulations of you going into
another chapter of your life. As a Member who actually took
advantage of the… of your program before I even came down
here, your staff was the… were the utmost professionals.
They were diligent and they made things work for me. So,
Larry, I’m in… having served on the Approp Higher Education

listened to you and continue to have the utmost respect and
positive regard for you in that you are running a tight ship

government workers who are taking care of the people here.
So, I just want to thank you from having personally
participated in your program. Thank you and Godspeed."

discussion? Mr. McCarthy."

didn’t list my primary cosponsors: Representative Black,
Representative Rich Meyers, Representative David Miller, and
Representative Burke, but I really appreciate the suggestion
by Representative Monique Davis to please add all of the
Members of the House as Sponsors of the Resolution and I ask

you."
