Reports of Standing Committees

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 187.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to provide funding for the restoration of the Great Lakes.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 63 of 2001, p. 1942.)

(The resolution was reported by the Committee on Land Use and Environment on November 28, 2001, with substitute (H-1), consideration of which, under the rules, was postponed until November 29, 2001.)

(For substitute, see House Journal No. 81 of 2001, p. 2459.)

Rep. Richardville moved to substitute (H-4) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 187

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to provide funding for the continuing restoration and protection of the Great Lakes.

Whereas, The waters of the Great Lakes constitute a resource of the utmost importance to the future of our nation, as they interact with the international community. The quality and quantity of this fresh water treasure are vital to the health and commercial well-being of millions of Americans; and

Whereas, Congress over the years has provided support for numerous projects to protect and conserve our natural resources, with the most recent being legislation to fund the restoration of the Everglades and the South Florida ecosystem. This legislation includes several billion dollars in funding to the state of Florida. While the Everglades and the South Florida ecosystem are clearly a unique resource, the Great Lakes ecosystem has a prevailing international and national economic significance due to the shipping of raw materials, industrial products, and food, not to mention being the home of 20 percent of the world's fresh surface water, and 95 percent of the United States' fresh surface water; and

Whereas, With the Great Lakes at the heart of American industrial and agricultural production, and the source of recreation for millions, the United States of America must do all it can to assure the viability of the health of the lakes; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we call upon the Congress of the United States to fund the Great Lakes Basin with similar appropriations that have been afforded the Florida Everglades and the South Florida ecosystem; 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 Secretary of the Interior.

The motion prevailed and the substitute (H-4) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

The Speaker laid before the House

House Resolution No. 265.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States not to take control of the Great Lakes away from the Great Lakes states and to reaffirm authority granted to the Council of Great Lakes Governors.

(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 80 of 2001, p. 2391.)

(The resolution was reported by the Committee on Land Use and Environment on November 28, 2001, consideration of which, under the rules, was postponed until November 29, 2001.)

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Vander Veen moved to substitute (H-2) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 265

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States not to take control of the Great Lakes away from the Great Lakes states and to reaffirm authority granted to the Great Lakes Governors.

Whereas, The Great Lakes states have taken many steps to protect the lakes. Most recently, Annex 2001 to the Great Lakes Charter has demonstrated the concern of the people of this region that the stewardship for this fresh water resource must remain where it belongs--with the people of the Great Lakes; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes governors work closely with one another and their Canadian provincial counterparts on protecting the Great Lakes on a wide range of issues related to water management and a host of economic matters that strongly influence the lakes. This cooperation mirrors the shared stake in the quality of the lakes and reflects the appropriateness of policies that clearly affirm the authority of the Great Lakes Governors pursuant to the Great Lakes Charter; and

Whereas, Federal law states:

It is hereby determined and declared to be in the public interest that (1) title to and ownership of the lands beneath navigable waters within the boundaries of their respective states and the natural resources with such lands and water and (2) the right and power to manage, administer, lease, develop, and use the said lands and natural resources all in accordance with applicable state law be, and they are hereby, subject to the provisions hereof, recognized, confirmed, established, and vested in and assigned to the respective states or the persons who were on June 5, 1950, entitled thereto under the law of the respective states in which the land is located, and the respective granters, lessees, or successors in interest thereof

; and

Whereas, The Great Lakes states have demonstrated that we are an effective and efficient manager of Great Lakes water resources. We implore the federal government to continue to allow the Great Lakes states the ability to control the Great Lakes; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to increase protections for the Great Lakes and to affirm the authority of the Great Lakes governors on matters of the usage of Great Lakes waters; 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 motion prevailed and the substitute (H-2) was adopted, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.

______

Reps. Drolet, Vear, Bradstreet and Tabor, having reserved the right to explain their protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Slant drilling for oil and natural gas has occurred in Michigan for decades. It has been done safely, and all scientific examinations of the procedure indicate that the risk of harm to the Great Lakes ecosystem is tiny. Unlike off-shore oil platforms, an alternative that we do not allow in Michigan, this form of energy extraction bores deep beneath the lakebed from drilling sites located well back from the shoreline. Well-intentioned supporters of this legislation seek to avoid a repeat of the Exxon Valdez tanker spill in Alaska, but such a comparison is inapt. Tankers and oil platforms float oil on or pump it directly through the body of water. In the Great Lakes, oil and water are presently separated by a lot of rock and earth. Slant drilling is specifically designed to keep it that way.

Recreational boaters in Michigan cruise the waterways loaded with nearly a million barrels of gasoline every year. They purchase a lot of it from more than 200 Michigan marinas that are licensed to store fuel very close to the water. Meanwhile, commercial petroleum tankers now float 50 million barrels of petroleum across the Great Lakes every year. Tanker trucks carry more than six billion gallons of petroleum down Michigan highways, right past countless inland lakes and rivers, every year. While none of this activity is desirable in a perfect world, we could not survive economically without most of it. The logic that would have us ban slant drilling would apply with substantially greater force to each and every one of these activities.

The science and the timing of this proposal are wrong. Two months ago, President Bush signed House Resolution 2311, which prohibits Great Lakes' mineral extraction leases for two years. During this time, the Army Corps of Engineers will conduct yet more scientific studies regarding the safety of slant drilling. There has been no shortage of caution and care regarding this issue. Common sense and scientific study have and will continue to be applied to this matter before any decisions are made regarding future energy extraction from the fuel located deep underneath the Great Lakes. Though well intentioned, this legislation is irrelevant regarding both the problem and the solution."

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. McConico, Thomas, Garza, Waters, Gieleghem, Wojno, Spade, Anderson, Sheltrown, Bovin, Kolb, Hardman, Murphy, Lipsey, Phillips, Hale and Daniels offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 300.

A resolution honoring Reverend Joseph Ralph Jordan upon his appointment to the position of President of the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity.

Whereas, It is with the utmost confidence in his abilities that we join with the membership of Corinthian Baptist Church in celebrating the installation of the Reverend Joseph Ralph Jordan as President of the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity. The election of Reverend Jordan to this distinguished position is an event of significance far beyond the reaches of Corinthian Baptist Church and the community of Hamtramck, Michigan. In his long and devoted efforts to offer spiritual and personal guidance to others through the ministry, this dedicated and unselfish man has touched many lives through the power of faith. Gifts like these are of importance to everyone; and

Whereas, In the years since Reverend Joseph Jordan came to work with the individuals and families at Corinthian Baptist Church, the congregation has come to value all of the talents of this outstanding and effective spiritual leader. Whether helping people celebrate the great turning points in life, like weddings and baptisms, or by sharing the sad moments of a loved one's passing, Reverend Jordan has brought the peace of deep faith and the hope this faith makes possible in every situation; and

Whereas, Born April 29, 1936, in Jasper, Georgia, Reverend Jordan began his post secondary education at Wayne State University, earning his bachelor of arts degree. He continued his education at the University of Detroit, completing a masters degree. He then went on to earn a Doctorate of Ministry at Drew University, in Madison, New Jersey; and

Whereas, Following his calling, Reverend Jordan became Pastor of Corinthian Baptist Church in 1974. Though his work with the Corinthian congregation has proven extensive, Reverend Jordan has also extended himself to the community through his work with various religious and community organizations. His community involvement includes, but is not limited to, his memberships in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Detroit Urban League, Community Church Ministers in Action, Wayne County Council for the Arts, and the National Congress of Black Churches; and

Whereas, The appointment of Reverend Jordan is yet another milestone in the career and life of this accomplished individual. As the family and friends who have come to witness Reverend Jordan's good works can attest, the public moments of services and sermons are only part of the presence of Joseph Ralph Jordan. His private help to the needy, through encouragement, prayer, or putting a person in touch with someone with the resources to help, has constituted a true gift. Through those who have been blessed by these works, the entire community has been enriched; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body honor Reverend Joseph Ralph Jordan upon his appointment to the position of President of the Council of Baptist Pastors of Detroit and Vicinity; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Reverend Joseph Ralph Jordan as a token of our esteem.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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.

Reps. Spade, Vear, Julian, Kuipers, Vander Roest, Middaugh, Bernero, Schermesser, Jansen, Lemmons, Clark, Thomas, Jelinek, Ehardt, Faunce, Van Woerkom, Drolet, Stewart, Mead, Tabor, Meyer, Pappageorge, Cassis, DeWeese, Caul, Birkholz, Bovin, Hardman, Hale, Kolb, Zelenko, Rivet, Dennis, Richner, Scranton, Hager, Toy, Vander Veen, DeRossett, Newell, Minore, Frank, Koetje, Neumann, Shulman, Sheltrown, Basham, Phillips, Jacobs, Hansen, Howell, Plakas, Bogardus, Anderson, Richardville, Bisbee, Quarles, Adamini, Clarke, Jamnick, DeVuyst, Gieleghem, Switalski, George, Gosselin, Wojno, Lipsey, Rich Brown, Woodward, Schauer, Mans, Williams, Rocca and Bishop offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 301.

A resolution commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America and proclaiming March 12, 2002, as Girl Scouts Day in Michigan.

Whereas, Tuesday, March 12, 2002, marks the 90th anniversary of Girl Scouts of the United States of America, founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. Fifty million women have enjoyed the benefits of the Girl Scouts program, as an American tradition, for 90 years; and

Whereas, Throughout its long and distinguished history, Girl Scouts, the preeminent organization for girls, has inspired millions of girls with the highest ideals of character, conduct, and patriotism; and

Whereas, The Girl Scouts program leads businesses and communities to teach girls the skills needed to take an active role in math, science, and technology careers and to fulfill our country's economic needs; and

Whereas, Through the Girl Scouts, every girl grows strong, gains self-confidence, acquires the skills needed for success, and learns her duty to the world around her. Participating in Girls' Voices, a national community service project, every girl learns to use her own voice to address an issue of concern to her and perhaps make a change for the betterment of her community; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America and proclaim March 12, 2002, as Girl Scouts Day in Michigan.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Patterson 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.
