RAWLINGS, Justice
(concurring specially)-
I concur only in the result.
As aptly observed by the majority, trial court “complied admirably with our suggestion in State v. Horton, 231 N.W.2d 36, 39 (Iowa 1975) that the rationale behind a sentence imposed be articulated to the defendant by the court”.
Therefore, it appears to me the majority overreaches in needlessly repudiating ABA Standards Relating to Probation, Approved Draft 1970, § 1.3.
Furthermore, the majority superfluously strains to again disavow ABA Standards Relating to Sentencing Alternatives and Procedures, Approved Draft 1968, § 5.6. See also in 1977 Session of the 67th General Assembly, S.F. 289, by Committee on Judiciary, subsec. 3(d), at 28; “Adult Corrections in Iowa”, Report to the 67th General Assembly by the Advisory Commission on Corrections Relief, at 126-128 (March 1977).
REYNOLDSON, J., joins in this special concurrence.
