Rev. Dan Seaborn, Pastor of the Central Westland Church in Holland, offered the following invocation:
"God, it is our privilege today, before this afternoon session begins, to just pause and say we need Your wisdom, we need Your guidance, we need Your touch to be able to deliberate and to come to conclusions that would honor You. I ask that You would be with this group of individuals whom You have chosen from across our state to give leadership. Lord, that You might give them wisdom and understanding from You today. Lord, as I specifically work with families so often, I pray for the families that would be represented here. Certainly, there would be kids and grandkids represented by those who serve here, who need to have Your touch today, need Your protection today, and I pray You will continue to provide that. That You would keep the marriages represented here strong. That You would keep the families here strong. That You would be with single individuals who work here. Lord, that their lives would be a testament for You. That You would use them for Your glory. Bless this specific day, and this specific session, may it bring honor to You. In Christ's name, I pray. Amen."

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Schauer, Hansen, Kukuk, Mortimer, Van Woerkom, Faunce, Baird, Raczkowski, Neumann, Martinez, Switalski, Basham, Vander Roest, Vaughn, Ehardt, Lemmons, Clark, Jamnick, Callahan, Thomas, Brater, Prusi, Hale, Spade, Jacobs, Hanley, Hager, LaForge, Caul, Woronchak, DeHart, Cherry, Garza, Minore, Green, Scranton, Tesanovich, Schermesser, Kelly, Dennis, Wojno, Woodward, Bovin, Gieleghem, Sheltrown, Frank, Kilpatrick, Clarke, Reeves, Birkholz, Tabor and Cameron Brown offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 194.
A resolution to honor the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, its affiliates, and the Kellogg Company for their commitment and work to eradicate breast cancer.
Whereas, The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1982 by Nancy Brinker in memory of her sister who died of breast cancer at the age of 36. The Foundation has volunteers in local chapters across the nation working to eradicate breast cancer as a life-threatening disease by advancing research, education, screening, treatment, and community programs; and
Whereas, By educating the public about the importance of early detection and encouraging people to spread the life-saving message of breast cancer awareness, the Susan G. Komen Foundation empowers women to save lives. The Komen Foundation created the "Race for the Cure" and "Lee National Denim Day" campaigns to raise funds in order to accomplish their mission; and
Whereas, Research offers great potential to find the cause and the cure for breast cancer, in addition to bringing about new and improved treatments. Each year, the Komen Foundation's National Grants Program reviews hundreds of outstanding proposals from highly qualified applicants. The Foundation funds those that offer the most promise for treating, understanding, and curing breast cancer, as well as research in areas related to surviving breast cancer -- the risk of secondary tumors, the after-effects of chemotherapy, hormone replacement therapy options, and quality of life issues; and
Whereas, The Susan G. Komen Foundation has affiliates in more than 100 communities across the country and has raised in excess of $136 million since its inception. Michigan has three affiliates who contribute to the fight against breast cancer -- the Southwest Michigan Race for the Cure, chaired by Wayne Young, the Detroit Race for the Cure, chaired by Jane Huey, and the Grand Rapids Race for the Cure, chaired by Peggy Helsel; and
Whereas, The Kellogg Company has joined the Susan G. Komen Foundation National Survivor Recognition Program in the fight against breast cancer by initiating the "Box Tops for the Cure" campaign. To encourage early detection, a breast self-examination guide is printed on the inside of the participating Kellogg cereal boxes, and the Kellogg Company has created a special "pink ribbon" breast cancer awareness watch that will be offered on the side panels of the participating cereal brands. All proceeds from the wristwatches will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize and commend the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, its affiliates, and the Kellogg Company for their commitment and work to eradicate breast cancer; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the Southwest Michigan Race for the Cure, the Detroit Race for the Cure, the Grand Rapids Race for the Cure, and the Kellogg Company as evidence of our esteem.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Raczkowski 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.
Reps. Wojno, Hansen, Kukuk, Faunce, Baird, Raczkowski, Neumann, Martinez, Switalski, Basham, Vaughn, Ehardt, Mans, Lemmons, Clark, Jamnick, Callahan, Thomas, Brater, Prusi, Hale, Spade, Jacobs, Hanley, Hager, LaForge, Woronchak, DeHart, Cherry, Minore, Tesanovich, Schermesser, Kelly, Dennis, Woodward, Bovin, Gieleghem, Sheltrown, Frank, Kilpatrick, Clarke and Schauer offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 195.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the "Made in USA" Label Defense Act.
Whereas, In this age of multinational enterprises, many citizens take great pride in buying products with a "Made in USA" label. Our country's vital interest in American workers and jobs is at the heart of the labeling requirements set in federal law and administered by the Federal Trade Commission. This label can only be used when specific standards of materials and labor are met to affirm American content; and
Whereas, In the past few years, efforts to reduce the amount of American-originated labor and material to less than the standard of "all or virtually all" were defeated. Public comment gathered by the Federal Trade Commission in reviewing these standards shows how strongly Americans feel about the "Made in USA" designation; and
Whereas, In spite of the Federal Trade Commission standards, there are still situations in which companies complete final manufacturing in certain United States possessions to mislead consumers. Congress is presently considering legislation to protect the integrity of the "Made in USA" label. The "Made in USA" Label Defense Act of 1999, S. 922, sponsored by Senator Abraham, addresses this problem. It seeks to prohibit the use of this label for products made in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and to end duty-free treatment of products made there in an effort to deceive consumers. This legislation is an appropriate step to strengthen the integrity of the "Made in USA" label; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the "Made in USA" Label Defense 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.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
Reps. LaForge, Hansen, Baird, Neumann, Martinez, Switalski, Vander Roest, Vaughn, Ehardt, Lemmons, Jamnick, Thomas, Brater, Prusi, Hale, Spade, Jacobs, Hanley, Hager, Perricone, DeHart, Cherry, Garza, Minore, Green, Tesanovich, Schermesser, Kelly, Dennis, Woodward, Bovin, Kilpatrick, Clarke, Schauer and Birkholz offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 196.
A resolution to express support for efforts to increase public awareness and support for the restoration, revitalization, and perpetuation of the remainder of A.M. Todd's publicly held collection of paintings being coordinated by the Kalamazoo Historic Conservancy for the Preservation of Art.
Whereas, A.M. Todd not only gained a national business reputation as "The Mint King," but he also greatly impacted his home community as a patron of the arts. As a prolific collector, he traveled to Europe eight times between 1907 and 1923 acquiring paintings, books, statues, and other aesthetic objects. The subject of his art objects ranged from paintings of Western landscape and storied landmarks to Victorian themes to the atrocities of war following World War I; and
Whereas, The mission of A.M. Todd was to improve the lot of humanity through the appreciation of art, history, and literature. During his lifetime, he often held Sunday afternoon open houses at his company's 22-room headquarters at Rose Street and Kalamazoo Avenue. Upon his death in 1931, the A.M. Todd collection was disbursed to several public institutions, including Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College, Nazareth College, the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, the First Presbyterian Church, the University of Michigan, Sturgis Hospital, and the YWCA; and
Whereas, A.M. Todd donations carried a caveat that they must remain on public display. However, with no unified, coordinated, and sustained effort, the pledge lost its clout. The Todd paintings came off public walls and ended up in dank storage areas. It is estimated that one-third of the collection is missing, and the rest are deteriorating. Of the 402 paintings in the original Todd collection, 268 have been located, and their cumulative value has been set between $4 million and $6 million; and
Whereas, The Kalamazoo Historic Conservancy for the Preservation of Art was founded in April 1997 to establish a permanent fund for the preservation of the community's public art holdings, of which the A.M. Todd project is the conservancy's first major undertaking. Joining the conservancy in this project are the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, the A.M. Todd Co., Kalsec Inc., the University of Michigan, Nazareth College, Kalamazoo College, Sturgis Hospital, Western Michigan University, the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival, the Kalamazoo Valley Museum, and descendants of A.M. Todd. This collaboration has been instrumental in the process of tracking down missing components of the collection, determining the fates of the lost paintings, coordinating the restoration plans, organizing the publishing of the catalogue, planning the exhibition, and the initial fund-raising; and
Whereas, The conservancy plans to establish a fund through a local foundation that will be designated for the restoration of this community's inventory of public art as well as seeking other funding sources. The governing board of the conservancy is committed to allocating financial resources, both by additional fund-raising and catalogue sales, to create and maintain such public art treasures; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we express support for efforts to increase public awareness and financial support in the restoration, revitalization, and perpetuation of the A.M. Todd art collection; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Kalamazoo Historic Conservancy for the Preservation of Art.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

House Resolution No. 197.
A resolution to honor Charles Kieffer upon the occasion of his retirement.
Whereas, Charles Kieffer is a well-known and respected advocate for affordable housing and other important human services and can be counted on to speak out articulately and effectively on behalf of our most vulnerable citizens; and
Whereas, Charles Kieffer has worked tirelessly and tenaciously on behalf of homeless citizens of Washtenaw County, as Executive Director of the SOS Crisis Center in Ypsilanti, Michigan, since 1982; and
Whereas, Highlights of Charles Kieffer's accomplished-filled career are many. Charles Kieffer was responsible for administration and fiscal management, government and community relations, program planning, grant writing and fund-raising, public advocacy, and staff oversight and supervision of 60 employees and 100 volunteers. Mr. Kieffer's significant accomplishments include increasing the annual operating budget from $50,000 to $3 million per year. He conceived, funded, and implemented a comprehensive continuum of family-focused housing and homelessness programs; restructured mental health, crisis intervention, emergency food assistance, and substance abuse prevention services to assist over 20,000 contacts annually; and introduced computerization of accounting, donor management, and client services management functions; and
Whereas, Charles Kieffer earned his B.A. in Philosophy and Psychology from Yale University in 1974; his M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Michigan in 1976; and his Ph.D. in Psychology and Education from the University of Michigan in 1981; and
Whereas, Charles Kieffer married his wife Marjorie in 1982 and has three sons, Matthew, Adam, and Jonas. His spare time is spent doing what he likes best--camping, exploring, traveling, and browsing record and book stores; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commend Charles Kieffer upon the occasion of his retirement from the SOS Crisis Center; and be it further
Resolved, That we wish him well as he embarks on his new responsibilities at the Michigan State Housing Development Authority; and be it further

House Concurrent Resolution No. 62.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the "Made in USA" Label Defense Act.
Whereas, In this age of multinational enterprises, many citizens take great pride in buying products with a "Made in USA" label. Our country's vital interest in American workers and jobs is at the heart of the labeling requirements set in federal law and administered by the Federal Trade Commission. This label can only be used when specific standards of materials and labor are met to affirm American content; and
Whereas, In the past few years, efforts to reduce the amount of American-originated labor and material to less than the standard of "all or virtually all" were defeated. Public comment gathered by the Federal Trade Commission in reviewing these standards shows how strongly Americans feel about the "Made in USA" designation; and
Whereas, In spite of the Federal Trade Commission standards, there are still situations in which companies complete final manufacturing in certain United States possessions to mislead consumers. Congress is presently considering legislation to protect the integrity of the "Made in USA" label. The "Made in USA" Label Defense Act of 1999, S. 922, sponsored by Senator Abraham, addresses this problem. It seeks to prohibit the use of this label for products made in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and to end duty-free treatment of products made there in an effort to deceive consumers. This legislation is an appropriate step to strengthen the integrity of the "Made in USA" label; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the "Made in USA" Label Defense 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.
The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.
