Rep. Rick Shaffer, from the 59th District, offered the following invocation:
“Gracious Father,
It is certainly with praise and thanksgiving that we bow in Your presence just now.
We offer up our thanks to You for the gift of life and a host of blessings received. We are especially mindful, this week, during our Veteran’s Day celebrations of the sacrifices made by our nations’ Veterans who have served – down through the ages – and yet today … (dedicated men and women serving in our armed services, who have made tremendous sacrifices including, unfortunately, the loss of life). Each have, or are currently serving under the guise of preserving our constitutionally guaranteed rights of peace – liberty – and the pursuit of happiness.
This honored, but humble body today, calls upon Your Holy Name to guide in our deliberations. We ask as Your servant of old King Solomon for wisdom and understanding as we deliberate the issues of Michigan. Father, we legislators certainly couldn’t do this alone and so we ask for a blessing upon our staff, upon our constituency, upon all those who help us come to understanding. I ask these blessings today in Your name, Amen.”

Resolved, That the annual amounts of “True Rental” for the Facility shall be within or below the range of $480,000 and $628,000, as shall reflect variations that may occur in the components upon which the appraisal of True Rental was based, which amounts shall be certified by the appraiser and thereafter approved by the State Administrative Board and the Authority as authorized by 1964 PA 183, as amended; and be it further
Resolved, That the Lease is hereby approved by this concurrent resolution, and the Governor and the Secretary of State are authorized and directed to execute the Lease for and on behalf of the State; and be it further
Resolved, That, by hereby approving the Lease among the State, the Educational Institution, and the Authority, the Legislature agrees to appropriate annually sufficient amounts to pay the rent as obligated pursuant to the Lease; and be it further

House Resolution No. 461.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to take immediate action to expedite the domestic automotive industry package.
Whereas, Our economy, the domestic auto industry in particular, is facing unprecedented challenges. These challenges, which in large part emanate from a maelstrom of energy costs, a massive credit crunch, and other global economic forces, have combined in a way to threaten the existence of our nation’s domestic automakers. Clearly, this key segment of our economy is far too important to be allowed to whither and potentially fail; and
Whereas, The U.S. automotive industry and the advancements associated with automotive transportation have been the lifeblood of the American economy. American automakers have been responsible for many of the most important manufacturing advancements in the past century, and they were the “Arsenal of Democracy,” that helped assure our victory in time of war. The automotive industry is now a key force in the growth and development of the advanced technology that is so critical to our future. Indeed, the American automobile has defined our very culture, and events such as Michigan’s Woodward Dream Cruise stand as testimony to the unadulterated power and the classic beauty of the American automobile; and
Whereas, Today, more than 3 million direct and indirect American jobs, and countless numbers of retirees are dependent on the domestic automotive industry. Therefore, a strong showing of support for our automakers is critical at this important juncture in our nation’s history. The United States Congress has already approved a $25 billion loan for the development of advanced, fuel efficient technologies, but these funds are needed today. In addition, the latest reports indicate that more economic assistance may be necessary to help assure that our domestic automakers survive. Congress must take immediate action to prevent an economic nightmare; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we hereby memorialize the Congress of the United States to take immediate action to expedite the domestic automotive industry package; 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. Tobocman moved that Rule 71 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. Cushingberry, Bieda, Condino, Wojno, Clack, Donigan, Scott, Robert Jones, Gonzales, Vagnozzi, Gillard, Leland, Kathleen Law, LeBlanc, Johnson, Byrnes, Simpson, Ward, Alma Smith, Hopgood, Corriveau, Spade, Angerer, Warren, Mayes, Bennett, Jackson, Coulouris, Melton, Espinoza, Hammon, Clemente, Hammel, Meadows, Polidori, Brown, Meisner, Valentine, Griffin, Tobocman, Byrum, Constan, Lindberg and Miller offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 462.
A resolution to memorialize Congress to take swift actions, including loan guarantees and other measures, to address the crisis threatening the survival of the domestic auto industry.
Whereas, The American automobile industry is facing enormous challenges. The convergence of several factors, including record high oil prices for an extended period earlier this year, the collapse of credit markets, and the likely global recession, have crippled this industry at an especially vulnerable juncture. This combination of factors is threatening the very survival of the American auto industry, placing in peril millions of jobs across the entire country; and
Whereas, The domestic auto industry, which is on the cusp of promising technological advances, remains a cornerstone of our nation’s economy. Even as globalization has altered many economic realities, the fact remains that the production of cars and trucks is still central to American’s overall manufacturing capabilities; and
Whereas, With the number of jobs directly and indirectly tied to the production of automobiles and trucks, the potential damage from the failure of one or more of the domestic car companies would be monumental. While the impact would be most obvious in manufacturing states, there is no region of the country that would not be severely damaged if no steps are taken to address the crisis facing American’s auto industry. This is a serious matter that requires congressional actions; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize Congress to take swift actions, including loan guarantees and other measures, to address the crisis threatening the survival of the domestic auto industry; 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. Tobocman moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to take immediate action to expedite the domestic automotive industry package.
Whereas, Our economy, the domestic auto industry in particular, is facing unprecedented challenges. These challenges, which in large part emanate from a maelstrom of energy costs, a massive credit crunch, and other global economic forces, have combined in a way to threaten the existence of our nation’s domestic automakers. Clearly, this key segment of our economy is far too important to be allowed to whither and potentially fail; and
Whereas, The U.S. automotive industry and the advancements associated with automotive transportation have been the lifeblood of the American economy. American automakers have been responsible for many of the most important manufacturing advancements in the past century, and they were the “Arsenal of Democracy,” that helped assure our victory in time of war. The automotive industry is now a key force in the growth and development of the advanced technology that is so critical to our future. Indeed, the American automobile has defined our very culture, and events such as Michigan’s Woodward Dream Cruise stand as testimony to the unadulterated power and the classic beauty of the American automobile; and
Whereas, Today, more than 3 million direct and indirect American jobs, and countless numbers of retirees are dependent on the domestic automotive industry. Therefore, a strong showing of support for our automakers is critical at this important juncture in our nation’s history. The United States Congress has already approved a $25 billion loan for the development of advanced, fuel efficient technologies, but these funds are needed today. In addition, the latest reports indicate that more economic assistance may be necessary to help assure that our domestic automakers survive. Congress must take immediate action to prevent an economic nightmare; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we hereby memorialize the Congress of the United States to take immediate action to expedite the domestic automotive industry package; 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 concurrent resolution to a committee,
Rep. Tobocman moved that Rule 71 be suspended and the concurrent 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 concurrent resolution,
The concurrent resolution was adopted.
