Rep. John Garfield, from the 45th District, offered the following invocation:

"Father God, in the name of Jesus I pray that You would direct the leaders of this nation in times of crisis. Grant them wisdom and understanding, and help them to respond quickly and effectively to each situation. May divinely directed decisions be on their lips, and may they do that which is right in Your sight. May they follow Your will to direct our nation in the paths of peace and safety. Unite all response agencies in an organized and harmonious fashion to bring quick and effective resolve to the demands of this crisis. Empower us as United States citizens to do our part, financially, physically, emotionally and spiritually to support all who have been affected by this tragedy. I pray that You encourage and strengthen our nation. Surround us with Your love and mercy. Bring peace and comfort to all those who are suffering as a result of this crisis. We also pray for our soldiers, sailors and airmen that they come home safe, and pay honor to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and to their families. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen."

COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE REPORT

The following report, submitted by Rep. Woronchak, Chair of the Committee on Senior Health, Security and Retirement, was received and read:

Meeting held on: Thursday, April 3, 2003, at 9:00 a.m.

The Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management, by Rep. Meyer, Chair, reported

House Concurrent Resolution No. 9.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to provide for tariff rate quotas to deal with the importation of dry milk protein concentrates.

(For text of concurrent resolution, see House Journal No. 22, p. 268.)

With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the concurrent resolution then be adopted.

Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 9.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to provide for tariff rate quotas to deal with the importation of dry milk protein concentrates.

Whereas, The dairy industry has been significantly impacted in recent years by the rising use of dry milk protein concentrates (MPCs). The technology that makes possible the ultrafiltration process that separates proteins and the other components of milk was not fully developed when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was finalized in 1994. As a result, there are almost no restrictions on the importation of MPCs. This is causing serious damage to the domestic dairy industry; and

Whereas, According to the General Accounting Office report on dairy products, the volume of MPC imports grew from 805 metric tons in 1990 to 44,878 in 1999. The quotas set under GATT in 1994 are clearly not comprehensive enough for the forms in which some dairy products are imported today. Foreign exporters are known to blend dairy proteins for the purpose of circumventing existing tariff rate quotas; and

Whereas, In the 108^th Congress, legislation has been introduced to establish tariff rate quotas for MPCs. With the enactment of legislation to close this loophole, American agriculture will be able to compete on a more equal basis. The overall benefits, to our national economy and the domestic dairy industry, will strengthen a vitally important industry and restore the stability of the marketplace; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to provide for tariff rate quotas for dry milk protein concentrates that are equivalent to the import quotas currently in place on other dairy products; 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 Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the concurrent resolution would lie over one day.

The Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management, by Rep. Meyer, Chair, reported

House Concurrent Resolution No. 10.

A concurrent resolution to urge the United States Customs Service to work for greater enforcement of food safety standards by reconsidering the classification of dairy products, especially those containing milk protein concentrates.

(For text of concurrent resolution, see House Journal No. 22, p. 268.)

With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the concurrent resolution then be adopted.

Substitute for House Concurrent Resolution No. 10.

Whereas, The domestic dairy industry is very concerned about the effect that imported dry milk protein concentrates (MPCs) are having. The increasing use of these key components in many dairy products and the fact that regulations have clearly lagged behind technology are serious threats to a key part of American agriculture; and

Whereas, Farm groups concerned about the negative trends in the dairy industry strongly believe the dairy protein blends are being incorrectly classified by the United States Customs Service. The improper classification has created a trade loophole that encourages importers to circumvent tariffs on certain dairy products. It also undermines food safety standards. A key impact of this situation is economic hardship for American agriculture; and

Whereas, Although the United States Customs Service earlier took a stand advocating the proper classification of products with MPCs to ensure that high-fat dairy protein products are not immune from tariff, the Customs Service has since reversed its position. This has led key dairy industry representatives to challenge the current classification system. The long-term vitality of the American dairy industry hangs in the balance; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we urge United States Customs Service to work for greater enforcement of food safety standards by reconsidering the classification of dairy products, especially those containing milk protein concentrates; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the United States Customs Service and the United States Food and Drug Administration.

The Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the concurrent resolution would lie over one day.

Dear Mr. Randall,

Motions and Resolutions

House Resolution No. 37.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that would remove the unfair advantages that Federal Prison Industries has in competition for business.

Whereas, In 1934, Federal Prison Industries (FPI) was created as a government corporation. This system operates more than 100 factories, utilizes more than 20,000 inmate workers, and compiles total sales of approximately $500 million annually from over 150 products; and

Whereas, While the role that FPI plays in promoting the development of marketable skills among inmates has clear merits, this operation enjoys unfair advantages over private sector manufacturers. Even beyond the obvious wages and benefits advantages inmate workers offer, other factors favor FPI. This is especially true through certain governmental procurement policies, including a "mandatory source" requirement that severely limits competition; and

Whereas, Michigan is harmed significantly by the advantages FPI has over private manufacturers, especially within the furniture industry. Thousands of Michigan workers have lost their jobs in recent years, and the favorable policies for FPI are major contributing factors in these job losses; and

Whereas, In the past, legislation has been considered in Congress to address directly the issue of the preferential treatment afforded FPI in bidding for government contracts. This unfair situation needs to be corrected to preserve jobs and to restore fairness in the marketplace; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation that would remove the unfair advantages that Federal Prison Industries has in competition for business; and be it further

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
