Rep. Jack Hoogendyk, from the 61st District, offered the following invocation:

"My invocation today comes from the Psalms, chapter 133.

How good and pleasant it is

when brothers live together in unity!

²It is like precious oil poured on the head,

running down on the beard,

running down on Aaron's beard,

down upon the collar of his robes.

³It is as if the dew of Hermon

were falling on Mount Zion.

For there the LORD bestows his blessing,

even life forevermore.

Lord, grant that we as men and women would work together in unity for the good of all the people of this great state. For then we can know that You will bestow Your blessing on us. Amen."

House Resolution No. 75.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States and the United States Department of Health and Human Services to move forward with the creation of a national cord blood stem cell bank.

Whereas, In discussion on stem cells in this country, one available resource has too often been overlooked stem cells from umbilical cords. For example, a special type of stem cells known as hematopoietic progenitor cells have been successfully used for decades to reconstitute bone marrow and circulating blood cells in patients whose bone marrow has been damaged by chemotherapy or other underlying disease. Blood collected from the umbilical cords of recently delivered infants have proven advantages over other sources of these cells, such as adult donors. Stem cells found in the umbilical cord are less immunologically mature than other sources, which lessens the risk of rejection when transplanted. In addition, the collection of these cells poses minimal risk to the mother and infant. In some cases there are sufficient stem cells in one umbilical cord for a transplant to reconstitute bone marrow in a recipient; and

Whereas, Nearly 12,000 Americans a year search for a bone marrow donor. Of these, only a small fraction identifies a relative who is an acceptable match for a successful donation. All the others must rely on a transplant from a stranger. More than 9 million adults have voluntarily entered bone marrow donor registries worldwide. This number is not sufficient to find a match for everyone in need; and

Whereas, The current system for collecting and registering umbilical cord blood in the United States is fragmented, with at least 20 public banks operating across the country, one of which is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 2004, the United States Congress appropriated $10 million to the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration to establish a National Cord Blood Stem Cell Bank Program. Congress directed the Institute of Medicine to make recommendations to set up and operate the bank. In April 2005 the Institute of Medicine met its responsibility by issuing an extensive report with recommendations on how to make the current system work and expand it for the benefit of physicians and patients searching for matching donors; now, therefore,be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States and the Department of Health and Human Services to take the steps necessary to create the national cord blood stem cell bank based on the recommendations of the Institute of Medicine; 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 members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the Secretary of
the Department of Health and Human Services and the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 16.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and the Base Realignment and Closure Commission to validate the requirement for Michigan military facilities being examined during the current round of the Base Realignment and Closure process.

Whereas, Congress has authorized the examination of our military bases in order to determine which facilities are necessary for national defense and which are excess. Known as Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), several rounds of this process have taken place since 1988. With tens of thousands of American military personnel scheduled to redeploy from Europe back to the continental United States during this decade, we must not reduce our military base structure without considering the long-range ramifications. The 2005 BRAC round is also being carried out while our forces fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. Additional forces are deployed worldwide with allies to combat terrorism. Decisions made this year will affect our ability to project and sustain power in this fight for years to come; and

Whereas, The Detroit Arsenal, located in Warren, is the home to a number of commands that have a direct impact on the safety of our soldiers and Marines now fighting. Commands located at the Detroit Arsenal support the development of armor kits for our Humvees and other systems. Logistics support from the Detroit Arsenal encompasses virtually all ground combat and tactical vehicles and related vehicle systems, and enables all our services to carry out their missions. Our nation's laboratory for advanced ground systems automotive-military technology is located here and conducts work critical to our forces, such as mine countermeasure projects. The Detroit Arsenal is also critical for the development of the Army's Future Force, a networked system of systems designed to harness the Revolution in Military Affairs to create a deployable and lethal Army capable of defeating any enemy anywhere in the world; and

Whereas, Selfridge Air National Guard Base, located in Harrison Township, is the home for a number of active and reserve component units from the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Army, including United States Army Garrison, Selfridge. This base is home to F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft, C-130 Hercules transports, and KC-135 Stratotankers, as well as Coast Guard and Army helicopters. The United States Customs and Border Protection also operates out of Selfridge. As the only military installation in the continental United States that is located on an international waterway, the base serves homeland defense missions directly. This multi-service base could also host many of the troops and their families that will return to America from overseas bases. In an era when the military strives to fight as a joint team, Selfridge is a model of operating in a joint environment; and

Whereas, The Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center, located in Alpena, provides year-round realistic training to increase joint operating capabilities of the units that train there. Alpena is the only facility in the continental United States that boasts the new Aircraft Maneuver and Instrumentation pod system, a training tool that better prepares pilots for combat by enhancing the realism of training experience. The center is also home to military medical assets, including the Air National Guard Medical Readiness Training School. It is the only center with the new 25-bed Expeditionary Medical Support System. Close to Camp Grayling, the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center provides capabilities unmatched east of the Mississippi River; and

Whereas, The Battle Creek Air National Guard Base, located in Battle Creek, hosts the 110th Fighter Wing. This wing has deployed the "Killer Bees" of the 172nd Fighter Squadron to support American and allied troops in Kosovo and in Iraq. The A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft of the squadron fly low and slow to bring Air Force firepower to bear when and where soldiers and Marines need help. The squadron has proven its worth and validated the faith we place in our Air National Guard to fly and fight alongside their active component comrades. In addition, the base provides anti-terrorism and hijacking response training to fulfill a homeland defense mission; and

Whereas, The Camp Grayling Maneuver Training Center, located in Grayling, is the largest military installation east of the Mississippi River. The 147,000 acres of Camp Grayling provide ample room for training, from small arms to artillery fire. The camp's state-of-the-art tank gunnery complex allows our Army's mechanized forces to maintain a high level of training. Active and reserve component units from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps make use of what is probably the best joint force training center in the eastern United States to hone their warfighting skills. In addition, Camp Grayling houses equipment for the Ohio and Indiana National Guard as well as Michigan National Guard equipment. As a major facility located away from large population centers, Camp Grayling is well suited to provide training opportunities for special operations and anti-terror preparations; and

Whereas, The Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center, located in Battle Creek, supports Department of Defense logistics efforts. Getting supplies from locations around the world to the field is a demanding task that must be carried out flawlessly to keep planes flying, vehicles moving, and ships at sea. The facility also assists other federal agencies and international governmental agencies. It is a key facility that promotes efficient use of government property by transferring excess military property to federal, state, and local governments as well as other qualified organizations. Identifying productive uses for property that might otherwise be discarded makes taxpayer dollars go farther; and

Whereas, The Fort Custer Army National Guard Base, located in Battle Creek, is the home of one of our state's Rapid Response Teams, which were created to help civil authorities cope with terrorism on American soil. The base provides valuable company-level training that is crucial to maintaining the fighting edge of American reserve forces. It is one of the most heavily used training facilities in the Midwest. Over the last three years, we have witnessed the decisive advantage that highly trained troops have in battle. With National Guard and reserve troops an integral part of the global war on terror, facilities such as Fort Custer are vital to our national security; and

Whereas, Military facilities located in Michigan take advantage of their location to leverage the state's unique geography as a border state and relationships with the automotive industry, leading academic institutions, and suppliers to develop new dual-use concepts that are mutually beneficial to the military and the partners in these projects. For Michigan, a state that is challenged by an unemployment rate that is one of the highest in the nation, closing military facilities here would further hurt a region that has critical industrial base assets that will undoubtedly be needed in the future; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the President of the United States, the United States Congress, and the Base Realignment and Closure Commission to validate the requirement for Michigan military facilities being examined during the current round of the Base Realignment and Closure process; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the members of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 18.

A concurrent resolution to change the scope of the Macomb Community College Fraser Building Renovation project to the Emergency Services Training Center expansion project and to increase the project cost.

Whereas, Macomb Community College's Fraser Building Renovation project was authorized by 2001 PA 45. To date, no funds have been expended on the authorized Fraser project. Macomb Community College indicates that the aims of the Fraser project will be best fulfilled by changing the scope and location of the project by expanding the Emergency Services Training Center. Expanding this facility will offer numerous advantages in consolidating basic and advanced police, fire, and first responder training programs into a modern, strategically located complex. Modifying the scope and location of the project will allow these activities to take place near the Macomb County Sheriff's Department and the Selfridge Air National Guard Base; and

Whereas, As originally authorized in 2001 PA 45, the project was established at a total project cost of $6,545,000 (State Building Authority share $3,272,300, Macomb Community College share $3,272,500, and state General Fund/General Purpose share $200). The College finds that the cost of the project as modified as the Emergency Services Training Center project will be $8,683,000, an increase of $2,138,000. The College has agreed to assume all of the additional costs; and

Whereas, Pursuant to section 246 of 1984 PA 431, as amended, being MCL § 18.1246, the authorized cost of projects shall only be established or revised by specific reference in a budget act, by concurrent resolution adopted by both houses of the legislature, or inferred by the total amount of any appropriations made to complete plans and construction; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Michigan Legislature recognizes the need to modify the scope of the Fraser Building Renovation project to the expansion of the Emergency Services Training Center. We also hereby increase the total authorized cost for the Emergency Services Training Center project to an amount not to exceed $8,683,000 (State Building Authority share $3,272,300, Macomb Community College share $5,410,500, and state General Fund/General Purpose share $200) and that the legislature intends to continue to appropriate funds for construction subject to the limitations herein stated, in amounts not to exceed the authorized cost, subject to the ordinary vicissitudes of the legislative process; and be it further

Resolved, That the Legislature's authorization of this project is contingent upon notification to the Legislature by the Department of Management and Budget that the College has submitted appropriate planning documents to the Department and that the Department has approved them; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the State Budget Director, the Director of the Department of Management and Budget, and the Macomb Community College Board of Trustees.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.
