Father David Stotenbur, Pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, in Lansing, offered the following invocation:

"Lord God of the universe, we come before You in prayer as we open this session and gather to do the people's work. We ask You to give us the needed guidance so that our legislative efforts will be fruitful and valuable to the people of this state of Michigan. Give us hearts open to Your truth, the foundation and mother of justice, for our world stands in need of that truth which is justice and that justice which is truth. Guide these men and women to gain the wisdom to understand the issues before them, the prudence to rightly consider and interpret them, and the spirit of equity to rightly shape and form the law.

Help all who serve the people to separate the true and the good from the false and the evil and to bring light where there is confusion so that the laws which emanate from this place may redound to the greater good of that human society they are meant to serve.

Be always with us, Lord, and bless these men and women so that their pursuits may be efficacious for those they serve and may always reflect that higher justice and truth which proceeds from You. We invoke Your presence and blessing upon us today, You who are the Sovereign Law giver and the Sustainer of Your people now and forever. Amen."

______

Motions and Resolutions

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 253.

A resolution to honor the memory of John Bennett, former member of the House.

Whereas, It is with great respect for his life of contributions to our state that we mark the passing of John Bennett, who served as a member of this legislative body for twenty-eight years. We offer our sincerest condolences to his beloved family and want them to know of our admiration for his unselfishness in public service; and

Whereas, A gentleman highly regarded for his knowledge of finances, John Bennett distinguished himself in accounting and in service to his country and his community prior to coming to the Capitol. He was a veteran of service with the Army, and his sense of loyalty was also evident in his service to groups such as the Lions and the Disabled American Veterans. He combined his professional talents in the corporate world with his penchant for community involvement during his ten years as the treasurer of Redford Township; and

Whereas, John Bennett brought his experience and deep understanding of finance to the Michigan House of Representatives following his 1964 election. For twenty-eight years, this dignified gentleman devoted himself to each legislative issue with great thoroughness and seriousness. His businesslike approach was especially valuable in his leadership as chair of various committees over the years, including those dealing with retirement, roads and bridges, and corporations and finance. Indeed, his work will long be remembered not only in his Redford community, but throughout the entire state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body join in honoring the memory of our friend and former colleague John Bennett; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Bennett family as evidence of the lasting respect we will always hold for his memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by a unanimous standing vote.

I voted no on this bill that exempts non-profit organizations from paying fees for checking driving records.

A resolution honoring Harold M. Logan upon the occasion of his ninetieth birthday.

"Harold Logan was the Cal Ripken of his profession, faithfully showing up for work and setting longevity records."

Whereas, Harold M. Logan has reached a milestone in his life--his ninetieth birthday. This milestone is certainly a time of celebration for his family and friends and one which offers us an opportunity to gratefully recognize the contributions of one of Ann Arbor's outstanding citizens; and

He won a fellowship to the University of Michigan obtaining a Master's degree in 1931; and

Whereas, Following college, Harold taught English Literature and Journalism for five years at Hastings High School. In 1936, he was lured to Ann Arbor and taught Social Studies at Mack School before moving to Slauson Junior High. He was named principal at Slauson in 1941 and remained in that position until 1968. He then went to back to teaching at Pioneer High School until his retirement in 1971; and

Whereas, All along the way, Harold received honors aplenty. In 1962, he was named one of the nation's six outstanding secondary school principals, being nominated by his classroom teachers. The same year, the Ann Arbor Board of Education cited him as "one of the best loved and highly respected members of our staff." Harold also was awarded the Detroit News "My Favorite Teacher" award for the school year 1968-69; and

Whereas, Harold Logan's philosophy as a teacher and principal was to help youths develop into good Americans, be respectful of traditions, and make them aware of their civic duties; and

Whereas, An avid sports fan, Harold Logan handled Golden Gloves boxers, inaugurated the football program for Ann Arbor junior high schools, supports University of Michigan athletic programs, and loves hunting, bowling, fishing, and golf. He is also involved in many Ann Arbor activities including the Boy and Girl Scouts, the United Fund, the Kiwanis Club, and was an early member of the Junior Chamber of Commerce; now, therefore, be it

Mr. Dabney is one of four grand prize winners who will receive a faculty development trip to Paris and Normandy and $500 in media equipment for classroom and school use; and

Whereas, Competition for the Equipment-for-Education Grant Contest is open to teachers who teach at the first through twelfth grades in accredited schools and who are members of the C-SPAN in the Classroom program.

Whereas, Since 1997, C-SPAN has retraced the steps of Alexis de Tocqueville's 1831-32 trip to America and has offered viewers and educators a fresh look at the concept of democracy while examining in detail issues Tocqueville raised about American society. As part of the contest, teachers were asked to document the development, growth and results of the project in their classroom. Students read about Alexis de Tocqueville on the C-SPAN website, wrote poems and bibliographies and kept journals on his life. In addition, Mr. Dabney was able to incorporate the C-SPAN School Bus visit to further involve his students with C-SPAN materials, including a map of Tocqueville's journey, which led to the creation of "Tocqueville Travel Game" introducing statements to U.S. geography and history; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That tribute be hereby accorded to honor Hayes G. Dabney, II, upon his selection as a winner of the C-SPAN 1997-98 Equipment-for-Education Grant Contest.

On behalf of the many people who have benefited from her leadership, wisdom and professionalism, we offer this expression of our thanks and best wishes; and

Whereas, A 1958 cum laude graduate of the University of Detroit School of Law, Judge Reilly is well known throughout this country. Her ordinance regulating the location of adult businesses in the City of Detroit was upheld after she argued the case in the United States Supreme Court. That case, Young v American Mini Theatres, has become a landmark case on first amendment rights and is currently taught in law schools nationwide; and

Whereas, Judge Reilly has been a judge for 21 years. She was first appointed by Governor William Milliken to the Common Pleas Court for the City of Detroit in 1977 and the Wayne County Circuit Court in 1988. She was also elected to the circuit court in 1978 and 1984, and served as Chief Judge Pro Tempore in 1983-84. For the past nine years, Judge Reilly has been a champion of justice for the Michigan Court of Appeals. We commend her decisiveness and compassion on the bench; and

Whereas, Maureen Pulte Reilly has not only served as a sagacious public official, she has also been an active member in a number of organizations. These include the Michigan Judges Association, Michigan Judicial Institute, Cooley Law School, Michigan State Bar Association, University of Detroit Law School Alumni Association, Advisory Council of the Michigan Women's Foundation, U.S. Supreme Court Bicentennial Constitutional Law Project, American Inn of the Court, Women's Lawyers Association, and Incorporated Society of Irish-American Lawyers. It is definitely a privilege to recognize someone who has contributed so much of her time and talents to our legal system; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we extend congratulations to JudgeMaureen Pulte Reilly upon the occasion of her retirement from the Michigan Court of Appeals. May she and her family know of our gratitude for her many years of service to the people of Michigan and our best wishes for the happiest of retirements; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be presented to Judge Reilly as evidence of our highest esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Gagliardi 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, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

This resolution is offered to comply with MCL § 3.573.

Reps. Prusi, Hale, Gagliardi, Mathieu, Anthony, Tesanovich and Agee offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 93.

A concurrent resolution to extend the K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base Conversion Authority.

Whereas, The K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base Conversion Authority was established on September 10, 1993, by Executive Order Number 1993-16 and operates under the powers and duties provided in 1993 PA 159. The authority is performing vital services in the transition of the facility from military to civilian use; and

Whereas, Under the provisions of section 3 of 1993 PA 159, being MCL § 3.573, the base conversion authority for the former Air Force facility exists for five years unless an additional five-year extension is authorized by a concurrent resolution adopted by the legislature. Section 10 of the act, being MCL § 3.580, provides that the legislature may dissolve the authority if the work is completed earlier. With the progress that has been made to convert K.I. Sawyer to productive civilian uses and the tasks that remain to ensure the best possible results in the years to come, it is prudent to extend the authority; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That, pursuant to the provisions of section 3 of 1993 PA 159, being MCL § 3.573, we hereby extend the K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base Conversion Authority until no later than September 10, 2003.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Ethics.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 72.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to take certain actions regarding the implementation of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.

Whereas, The Food Quality Protection Act of 1996 (FQPA) was signed into law on August 3, 1996, by President Clinton; and

Whereas, Among the purposes of the FQPA is to assure that pesticide tolerance decisions and policies are based upon sound science and reliable data; and

Whereas, Another purpose of the FQPA is to assure that pesticide tolerance decisions and policies are formulated in an open and transparent manner; and

Whereas, The EPA is required by the FQPA to have reviewed approximately 3,000 of the approximately 9,700 existing tolerances by August 1999 to determine whether these tolerances meet the safety standards established by the FQPA; and

Whereas, The implementation of the FQPA could have a profound negative impact on domestic agricultural production and on consumer food prices and availability. With Michigan's diverse agriculture, this impact could be especially severe on our numerous specialty crops; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to take the following actions:

1. Direct the EPA to initiate immediately appropriate administrative rule making to ensure that the policies and standards the agency intends to apply in evaluating pesticide tolerances are subject to thorough public notice and comment prior to final tolerance determinations being made by the agency.

2. Direct the EPA to use its authority under the FQPA to provide interested persons the opportunity to produce data needed to evaluate a pesticide tolerance so that the agency can avoid the use of unrealistic default assumptions in making pesticide tolerance decisions.

3. Direct the EPA to implement the FQPA in a manner that will not disrupt agricultural production nor have a negative impact on the availability, diversity, and affordability of food.

4. Conduct oversight hearings immediately to ensure that actions taken by the EPA are consistent with the FQPA provisions and congressional intent. If the intent of the legislation is not carried out, then Congress should postpone the August 1999 deadline. Following oversight hearings, Congress should, if necessary, take appropriate actions or amend the FQPA to correct problem areas.

5. Encourage the Secretary of Agriculture and the United States Department of Agriculture to increase its commitment of manpower and budgetary resources to work with the EPA to gather scientific data. Furthermore, Congress should encourage the United States Department of Agriculture to conduct an economic impact statement on the implementation of the FQPA.

6. Clarify the role of Section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act as its provisions relate to the reestablishment of tolerances under the FQPA; 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, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Agriculture.

Reps. Hale, Fitzgerald, Byl, Green, Hammerstrom, McBryde, Dalman, Voorhees, Kukuk, Crissman, DeVuyst, Rhead, Horton, LaForge, Varga, Parks, McNutt, Jelinek, Jellema, Dobronski, Oxender, Gernaat, Bodem, Schermesser, Scranton, Bankes, Llewellyn, Goschka and Cassis were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.
