United States Army Major Chaplin Richard Quinn, offered the following invocation:
"Lord I thank You for past leaders of this great State of Michigan who knew the necessity of Your presence and wisdom in each piece of business conducted in this room, and determined every day to begin in prayer. We sincerely request Your presence here today and I pray that Your Holy Spirit not be invited only to be ignored or forgotten. The system today Lord is, they debate issues of the environment, taxes and justice. May these leaders choose what is morally correct rather than politically gainful. May they earnestly desire Your interest rather than special interest. May they seek heavenly wisdom and Godly truth rather than earthly praise or progressive religion. Lord bring revival to this land, to this State of Michigan. Bring Godly men and women to govern us. Forgive us for our abuse of freedom which exchange Your presence in our homes with infidelity, violence and divorce. Your presence in our schools with drugs, gangs, weapons and teen pregnancies. Exchange Your presence in our towns with empty churches, apathetic neighbors and senseless crime. Protect us from the legislation of godless moral decay in the name of liberty. Yes, Lord, I do implore Your presence here today, and pray that You not be silent nor we be deaf. I ask these things in Your Holy Name. Amen."

House Resolution No. 322.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Automobile National Heritage Area Act.
Whereas, Much of our country's manufacturing strength can be traced to the activities of the automobile industry in Michigan. Over the past century, the growth of this key industry has constituted a remarkable chapter in our history and our heritage. From the infancy of automobiles in Michigan to the industry's role during war, the process of manufacturing automobiles has meant more to our country than can be measured by economic statistics alone; and
Whereas, In an effort to recognize and preserve the cultural heritage of the automobile industry, interested citizens and organizations are working with members of Congress to establish a program to establish an automobile heritage area. The automobile heritage area would join the heritage areas already established in our country and maintained in conjunction with the National Park Service; and
Whereas, Two bills have been introduced in Congress to provide for the Automobile National Heritage Area. These measures, H.R.3910 and S.2104, would extend the program to corridors in the state with unique roles in Michigan's automobile history, including not only the metropolitan Detroit region, but also locations in Flint and Lansing; and
Whereas, There are presently sixteen heritage areas throughout the country. These help to preserve the history of the textile industry in Massachusetts, the role of the canals and other waterways in our nation's development, and several other unique components of America's past. The automobile industry certainly is an appropriate addition to this effort to save our cultural heritage; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Automobile National Heritage Area Act; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Reps. Bodem, Galloway, Godchaux, Perricone, Nye, Jansen, Sanborn, Rocca, Jellema, LeTarte, Byl, Fitzgerald, Hammerstrom, Cassis, Jelinek, Raczkowski, Richner, Basham, Stallworth, Crissman, Dalman, Bankes, Birkholz, DeVuyst, Voorhees, Scranton, Agee, Anthony, Baade, Baird, Bobier, Bogardus, Brewer, Brown, Cherry, DeHart, Dobronski, Frank, Geiger, Gernaat, Gilmer, Gire, Goschka, Hale, Harder, Horton, Johnson, Kelly, Kilpatrick, Kukuk, LaForge, London, Lowe, Martinez, McBryde, McManus, Middaugh, Olshove, Parks, Price, Profit, Prusi, Rison, Schauer, Schermesser, Scott, Tesanovich, Thomas, Vaughn and Wetters offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Resolution No. 323.
A resolution offered as a memorial to the life of Rebecca H. Barksdale.
Whereas, It is with great respect that we offer tribute to honor the memory of Rebecca H. Barksdale. The founder of one of the largest funeral homes owned by a woman in Michigan, Rebecca was dedicated to the interests of Detroit, and during her more than thirty years as a funeral home owner, she strived to make Detroit a wonderful place to live and work; and
Whereas, Mrs. Barksdale, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, was a leader who successfully challenged stereotypes to become an entrepreneur in an industry where female African-American owners were rare. Although a calm and unpretentious person, Mrs. Barksdale earned her Bachelor's Degree from Wayne State University and a Mortuary Science Degree from Worsham College in Chicago before opening her first funeral home on Puritan and her second on East State Fair in Detroit, demonstrating the achievement that followed her determination; and
Whereas, This concerned citizen shared her time and talent as a member and director of civic and professional organizations, such as President of the Michigan Selected Morticians Association, member of the state Mortuary Science Board, and board member of the Metropolitan Growth Development and Economic Development Committees of Wayne County. In every endeavor during her productive lifetime, Mrs. Barksdale displayed integrity and dignity. She earned much respect and leaves an unfillable void; and
Whereas, Awards she received paid homage to her effectiveness, integrity, and sincere goodwill that benefited everyone. In the 1970s, she earned both the National Funeral Directors and Embalmers Association's Woman of the Year Award and the Michigan Office of Minority Enterprise's Entrepreneur of the Month Award. As a business leader, she was much admired and will be long remembered; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we are both saddened by her loss and heartened by her legacy of exceptional dedication to family, work, and her beloved Detroit. We offer our words of praise as a memorial for Rebecca H. Barksdale, a woman who had a profound impact on her community, state, and nation; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to her family as a symbol of our sympathy.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Gagliardi moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
