Rep. Gary Newell, from the 87th District, offered the following invocation:

 

"We come before You today with thanksgiving for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon this country. We certainly are the most blessed of nations. As we reflect upon the occurrences of September 11, we would ask for comfort and strength for the family and friends of those whose loved ones perished in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. We ask You to provide wisdom and strength for President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the Cabinet members, the military and the leaders of Congress as they guide our nation in these troubled times. We ask You to provide wisdom and understanding for our citizens as we wrestle with what has happened here in our country and the affects on our society. Lord, we ask for Your guidance as we go about our duties, serving those who have elected us to be their representatives here in Michigan. Lord, we pray that the words 'In God we trust' will be more than a slogan as we face the challenges of our time. We pray these things in Thy heavenly name. Amen."

Reps. Godchaux, Jacobs, Pappageorge, Bishop, Kowall, Cassis, Gosselin, Ruth Johnson, Woodward, Raczkowski, Shulman and Phillips offered the following resolution.

House Resolution No. 185.

A resolution honoring the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El on its 100th anniversary.

Whereas, We are proud to recognize the 100th anniversary of the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El. As the women of the Sisterhood celebrate their faith and the triumphs they have shared, we are pleased to add our voice of thanks for the many ways in which Temple Beth El has touched and enriched not only its loyal membership, but also the community-at-large; and

Whereas, The Sisterhood of Temple Beth El was founded on November 26, 1901. Its origins can be traced to Rabbi Leo M. Franklin's establishment of the Woman's Auxiliary Association of Temple Beth El, known today as Sisterhood. During its reign as the oldest of this type of organization in Michigan, the Sisterhood's service to the community has remained cohesive and active. In a spirit of unity that has only grown stronger with the passing of the years, the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El has been devoted to carrying out noble ideals. Milestones of its history stand as symbols of commitment and stewardship; and

Whereas, The Sisterhood of Temple Beth El aims to promote a spirit of friendship and congeniality among its members. Whether praying for a good harvest, celebrating love in marriage, or marking the passing of a dear friend or loved one from this life, we all draw great strength from sharing with one another through its services. The history of the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El provides a wonderful example of how much faith and unselfishness mean to our entire state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El on its 100th anniversary. We add our thanks and best wishes on this momentous occasion; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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.

House Resolution No. 186.

A resolution to urge consumers in Michigan to boycott gasoline service stations that engage in price gouging.

Whereas, The terrible tragedy of the murder of innocent Americans by terrorists in New York City, Washington, and Pennsylvania has shocked our nation as nothing has in decades. Apart from the anguish created by losses of life in the thousands and the fears triggered by the shattering of our sense of personal safety from international terrorism, the people of Michigan also faced gasoline price gouging almost immediately; and

Whereas, In response to reports of gasoline prices that were raised as high as $5.00 per gallon, Michigan's Attorney General has identified many of the stations that engaged in price gouging. Other law enforcement officials, as well as many other state and local leaders, have also warned that price gouging will not be tolerated; and

Whereas, While these actions and statements are most appropriate, it is essential for the people of this state to realize that they already hold the strongest possible tool to deal with price gouging at the gas pump or to deal with any situation in which an individual or business engages in profiteering in response to a national crisis. Withholding business is the ultimate response that free people can take in our free economy and the most effective measure at hand; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge consumers in Michigan to boycott gasoline service stations that engage in price gouging. We urge that consumers take note of the stations identified by the Attorney General.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Commerce.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 35.

A concurrent resolution to urge consumers in Michigan to boycott gasoline service stations that engage in price gouging.

Whereas, The terrible tragedy of the murder of innocent Americans by terrorists in New York City, Washington, and Pennsylvania has shocked our nation as nothing has in decades.

Withholding business is the ultimate response that free people can take in our free economy and the most effective measure at hand; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge consumers in Michigan to boycott gasoline service stations that engage in price gouging. We urge that consumers take note of the stations identified by the Attorney General.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 36.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to work to implement United Nations resolutions to bring peace and security to Cyprus.

Whereas, This year marks the twenty-seventh anniversary of the Turkish invasion and occupation of Cyprus; and

Whereas, The Republic of Cyprus has been divided and occupied by foreign forces since 1974 in violation of United Nations resolutions; and

Whereas, The international community and the United States government have repeatedly called for the speedy withdrawal of all foreign forces from the territory of Cyprus; and

Whereas, There are internationally acceptable means to resolve the situation in Cyprus, including the demilitarization of Cyprus and the establishment of a multinational force to ensure the security of both communities in Cyprus; and

Whereas, A peaceful, just, and lasting solution to the Cyprus problem would greatly benefit the security and the political, economic, and social well-being of all Cypriots, as well as contribute to improved relations between Greece and Turkey; and

Whereas, The United Nations has repeatedly stated the parameters for such a solution, most recently in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1217, which was adopted on December 22, 1998, with United States support; and

Whereas, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1218, also adopted on December 22, 1998, calls for reduction of tensions in the island through a staged process aimed at limiting and then substantially reducing the level of all troops and armaments in Cyprus, ultimately leading to the demilitarization of the Republic of Cyprus; and

Whereas, President Bush wholeheartedly supported Resolution 1218 and committed himself to taking all necessary steps to support a sustained effort to implement it; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to work to implement United Nations resolutions to bring peace and security to Cyprus; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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.

 

 

Reps. Murphy, Woodward, Waters, Scranton, Ehardt, Wojno, Neumann, Dennis, Raczkowski, Hale, Schermesser, Lemmons, Rivet, Sheltrown, Kilpatrick, Hansen, Hardman, Adamini, Whitmer, Gieleghem, Jacobs, Spade, Plakas, Zelenko, Rich Brown, Stewart and Caul offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 37.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to restore funding for certain federal housing programs.

Whereas, The administration has jeopardized the effectiveness of several key housing programs with calls for major reductions in funding for the 2002 fiscal year. These cuts, if not restored, will bring harm to many people across this country in their daily lives and jeopardize the future they can provide for their children; and

Whereas, Overall, the administration has called for $859 million in cuts to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's public housing budget, major reductions for the Public Housing Capital Fund, and insufficient increases for the operating funds for public housing. One area of special concern is the removal of all funding for the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program; and

Whereas, The combined impact that this wide scope of housing-related cuts will be devastating for many needy men, women, and children. As a fundamental need, housing is an integral component of many other societal problems. Clearly, there is a strong correlation between housing quality and such key issues as education, health, youth violence and pregnancy, and drug use; and

Whereas, Greatly reducing the federal government's commitment to public housing is a short-sighted move. The potential costs to governments at all levels that will result from major cuts to public housing programs will grow to become far more expensive than the cost of the public investment. Even more significant than the cost in dollars and cents is the human cost to people in our society in need. Every effort must be made to rectify this harm by restoring appropriate funding for key programs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to restore funding for certain federal housing programs; 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 Family and Children Services.
