Rep. Vincent Gregory, from the 35th District, offered the following invocation:
“Almighty God,
As we are on the brink of a brand New Year, we thank You for all the blessings You have given us this year.
Father, please forgive us for all that we have done that we should not have done, and for the things we should have done and did not do.
We ask that in the New Year, You will guide us in our choices and decision making, so that we will choose wisely with Your help.
Help us to acknowledge You in everything we do and then we will succeed in our plans.
Help us to delight ourselves in You and You will give us the desires of our heart!
Help us to love, show compassion and help others.
Father, as we move toward the New Year, help us to start with a clean slate and a pure heart. Help us to put behind us anything that would hinder us from moving forward to a better future for the families of this great state of Michigan.
We ask for these and all things in Your Name!
Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

Slezak, Booher, Lisa Brown, Caul, Constan, Crawford, Daley, Dean, Denby, DeShazor, Geiss, Gonzales, Green, Haase, Haines, Hansen, Haugh, Haveman, Kurtz, LeBlanc, Liss, Lori, Lund, Mayes, Moore, Polidori, Proos, Wayne Schmidt, Schuitmaker, Paul Scott, Sheltrown, Spade, Stanley, Tlaib, Tyler, Ball, Marleau, Meekhof, Neumann, Pearce, Rogers and Walsh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 190.
A resolution honoring Robert Heft, the designer of the United States 50-star flag.
Whereas, Robert “Bob” G. Heft was born in Saginaw, Michigan in 1942. He was the designer of the 50-star flag, and has one of the proposed designs for a 51-star flag for the United States of America; and
Whereas, He designed the current United States flag in 1958 while living with his grandparents in Lancaster, Ohio. He was 17-years-old at the time and did the flag design as a class project. He unstitched the blue field from a family 48-star flag, sewed in a new field, and used iron-on white fabric to add 100 hand-cut stars, 50 on each side of the blue canton; and
Whereas, He originally received a B- for the project. After discussing the grade with his high school teacher, Stanley Pratt, it was agreed that if the flag was accepted by Congress, the grade would be reconsidered. Heft’s flag design was chosen and adopted by presidential proclamation after Alaska and before Hawaii were admitted into the union in 1959. According to Heft, his teacher kept to their agreement and changed his grade to an A for the project; and
Whereas, When Alaska and Hawaii were being considered for statehood, more than 1,500 designs were spontaneously submitted to President Dwight D. Eisenhower by Americans all over the country. Although some of them were 49-star versions, the vast majority were 50-star proposals. At least three, and probably more, of these designs were identical to the present design of the 50-star flag. These designs are in the Eisenhower Presidential Archives in Abilene, Kansas. Only a small fraction of them have ever been published; and
Whereas, After graduating from college, Heft became a high school teacher and later a college professor, and he also served as mayor of Napoleon, Ohio for 28 years. After retiring from teaching, he became a motivational speaker. Heft was a longtime member of the Harvey Spaulding Toastmasters Club in Saginaw. He earned the nickname “father time” as he often filled the role of timer during meetings. While he was seen as one of their own, other members of the club were always honored when Heft would deliver a speech at a meeting; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of the legislative body honor Robert Heft, the designer of the United States 50-star flag, who died on December 12, 2009.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Reps. Opsommer, Paul Scott, Amash, Booher, Calley, Caul, Crawford, Daley, Dean, Green, Haines, Haveman, Horn, Knollenberg, Kowall, Kurtz, LeBlanc, Lori, Lund, Proos, Tlaib, Tyler, Ball, Marleau, McMillin, Meekhof, Pearce, Rogers and Walsh offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 191.
A resolution to urge the United States Department of State to fulfill its legal obligation to respond to Freedom of Information requests for records related to breaches in passport record security and to provide complete information to the states regarding how Enhanced Driver’s License information is being protected, housed, and shared.
Whereas, The integrity and security of personal identification information must be a top priority of governmental agencies and offices. Identity theft in our age of instant and international communications is a crime with ramifications we are only beginning to fully comprehend. This crime threatens not only every individual, business, and family, but also our national security; and
Whereas, The American public’s faith in the treatment of personal information was shaken by recurring reports in the 2008 presidential campaign that passport records of major candidates had been inappropriately accessed. Information on even Hilary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama was accessed improperly, leaving citizens to wonder whether their records would even be held to the same standard. In addition, news reports from last year showed security breaches in passport components being produced overseas, including the theft or loss of blank radio frequency identification chips. Numerous reports issued by the Governmental Accountability Office have been critical as well. The fact the federal government would now like states to issue state driver’s license federal passport hybrids known as Enhanced Driver’s Licenses (EDLs) means that states have an even more vested interest in knowing if the breaches are truly being fixed, who is maintaining the databases, and what kinds of personal or biometric data is being shared with foreign governments; and
Whereas, In response to this serious situation, Freedom of Information requests were submitted in an effort to determine whether the federal government is taking steps necessary to improve the situation and so that states can determine if the citizen data they are entrusting to the federal government is being adequately safeguarded. However, the records ultimately released by the United States Department of State included a report that was highly redacted, and even state elected officials are having difficulty getting information. Although the report of the State Department’s Office of the Inspector General showed extensive evidence that many files had been compromised, the amount of withheld information raised additional concerns. Only 6 of the report’s 22 recommendations were not completely redacted. This has led to questions over whether protocols are being followed and additional requests for more complete information, as well as a lawsuit after the request was denied; and
Whereas, The issues at stake in this situation have far more significance than isolated violations of security policies related to certain passport files. The issues include the increasing use of nongovernmental employees, portable laptops, and foreign contractors from countries actively involved in espionage against the United States; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the United States Department of State to fulfill its legal obligation to respond to Freedom of Information requests for records related to breaches in passport record security and, additionally, to provide complete information to the states regarding how Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) information is being protected, housed, and shared; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Secretary of the Untied States Department of State.
The resolution was referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
Reps. Opsommer, McMillin, Agema, Amash, Booher, Calley, Caul, Crawford, Daley, Green, Haines, Haveman, Horn, Knollenberg, Kowall, Kurtz, LeBlanc, Lori, Lund, Proos, Schuitmaker, Tyler, Ball, Marleau, Meekhof, Pearce, Rogers and Walsh offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 36.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the United States Congress to embrace greater economic transparency by enacting H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, and to enact it as a stand alone bill not attached to other legislation and in a version fully supported by the bill’s original sponsors.
Whereas, The Federal Reserve System is responsible for our nation’s monetary policy, banking regulation, consumer protection, and a host of related financial services, including acting as a central bank for the United States. As a quasi-public, quasi-private institution it has historically enjoyed considerable independence from congressional oversight and public scrutiny; and
Whereas, The importance of the Federal Reserve System’s decision-making processes that shape the U.S. financial climate have become magnified as world economies have grown, become more interlinked, and become much more complex. In addition, various proposals have sought to expand the central bank’s regulatory authority beyond its current role; and
Whereas, It is clear in the wake of the current financial crisis that more transparency is needed in the financial system, and, despite the Federal Reserve’s quasi-private status, that it be subject to audits by the Government Accountability Office to ensure that central bank practices are serving their intended purposes for the American public; and
Whereas, Legislation currently before Congress, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009 (H.R. 1207), would require the Comptroller General of the United States to audit the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System before the end of 2010 and submit its findings and recommendations for legislation, if deemed to be necessary, to the United States Congress within 90 days. This vital measure is essential to our nation’s financial well-being and future, and would go a long way in reassuring the public of the stability of our banking and financial network. Nonetheless, despite its broad support, Congress is attaching this legislation to other bills placing legislators in a position where they must also adopt controversial legislation in order to pass the common sense and urgently needed policies of H.R. 1207; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we hereby memorialize the United States Congress to enact H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, and to enact it as a stand alone bill not attached to other legislation and in a version fully supported by the bill’s original sponsors; 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 Banking and Financial Services.
