And we thank You Father that we can come before You and lift all these requests of this state to You. We look for Your wisdom and Your guidance and direction as they make decisions for the future. I pray that You bless each and everyone in their direction and their decision, that You may be glorified and uplifted through this. Now in Your hands we place this, in Jesus' name. Amen."

______

Rep. Switalski, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I agree with the good intentions of this bill, which seek to ensure that welfare payments are not spent on illegal drugs. Good intentions, however, do not create good law.

I voted against this bill because I believe the ability it gives to the government to conduct a general search is a violation of the 4th amendment to the US Constitution and a similar provision in the Michigan Constitution.

The House today defeated an amendment that would have required that testing be conducted for cause. This amendment would have created a legal drug testing program, while defending our cherished 4th Amendment rights against general, warrantless searches.

This house today has failed to protect our Constitutional Rights. For that protection we must now rely on the Supreme Court."

Rep. Woodward, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

The people of the 34th District did not elect me to come to Lansing so that I can give a state agency a 'blank check' to administer drug tests without evidence of drug abuse. Therefore, I can not support HB 4090 for the following reasons:

1) The 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits blanket searches (such as those advocated in this bill) without just cause. But the Republican Majority refuses to amend HB 4090 as to require just cause in this piece of legislation.

2) There is no uniformity or legal procedure for administrating the drug test in and across the state.

3) Drug testing doesn't guarantee drug treatment. With many state and community treatment centers having waiting lists as long as six months, this bill doesn't satisfy the purpose of this legislation. There is no insurance that adequate resources will be made to get the necessary population off drugs."

Rep. Hansen Clarke, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I object to this bill because it allows the state to test poor taxpayers, including grandparents raising their grandchildren, without any evidence that they are abusing drugs. This is unfair and also unnecessary because there already exists another law that authorizes drug testing of family independence program participants.

It is also irresponsible to support this measure at this time because even the proponents of this bill have not explained the estimated cost of this procedure."

Rep. Dennis, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

The Republicans want to give The Family Independence Agency the power to test--without any evidence of drug abuse--working poor taxpayers and grandparents raising their grandchildren.

A law already exists, that I support, which authorizes drug tests for FIP recipients for cause. The people of the 92nd district did not send me to Lansing so that I could vote yes on unnecessary legislation.

However, one item that has been overlooked is, what happens to the children after a parent or grandparent is dropped from the rolls. I submit this no vote, because it does not answer this question."

Rep. Jamnick, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on this bill today.

Mr. Speaker, I certainly appreciate the opportunity to hear the discussion today.

I am not going to say that anyone is making a right or wrong vote today. But I cannot support this bill and speak of respect for people.

Our society today still continues to ignore the other addictions that hurt our children and families too.

This is what I call our fragile population and may not know how to respect themselves and have to be helped to learn too. I have gone with someone to apply for assistance and it was a humiliating experience. For someone lacking confidence in themself to come and do a test may only serve to push them down further.

I don't understand why this body today was unwilling to include ourselves in doing something we are requiring others to do.

I ask us all today to remember that there but for the grace of God, or whatever higher power you believe in, could go all of us--nobody is saying there aren't problems. I'm not sure this is a solution."

Rep. Lemmons, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I believe that HB 4090 violates the rights of privacy and is thereby unconstitutional.

Furthermore this legislation unfairly targets the most vulnerable segment of our population while allowing other recipients of state funds who receive far larger funds to be exempt."

Rep. Reeves, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I could not support HB 4090 and 4091 due to the exclusion of appropriate amendments which would have increased my favorability to these bills. I was especially appalled by the lack of consideration to custodial grandparents. These bills assume the very worst about our most vulnerable citizens without just cause."

Rep. Vaughn, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on HB #4090 because I believe this mean spirited legislation is unconstitutional and unlawful because it targets one segment of the population--poor people.

To demand that people who apply for welfare assistance must be drug tested even though there is no evidence of their drug use is against everything a democracy is supposed to stand for.

This bill reminds me of my experience while serving in the United States Army in Germany wherein I researched the path of the Hitler era in Germany. Their first programs were targeted against poor people.

Since I knew my own history and clearly understood the holocaust against my ancestors wherein we lost upwards of a hundred million during the nearly 500 years of the slave trade and slavery in the Americas.

I was quite interested in the role of the Nazi German government and ordinary German people in the mainly Jewish Holocaust wherein 6 million people were slaughtered.

After Adolph Hitler seized the office of Chancellor through an in house coup de etat the SS and the entire Nazi apparatus went to work with a law and order platform that targeted poor people first--Jews, Gypsies, Catholics, dissidents, Africans, etc. with a demand that they all carry ID cards, that they be tested for all sort of Dr. Mengele, Dr.Science and Dr. Strangelove reasons--that Jews wear a yellow star of David and eventually this entire population of poor people were tattooed with a serial number.

I remember the blue numbered tattooes that I observed on so many German victims of the holocaust that were lucky enough to survive.

Now here we come, full circle in Michigan, with a bill that sounds like it was concocted in World War II Berlin.

You want to test poor people for drugs--not fat cats who get state contracts--not politicians who have a strange habit of making holier than thou laws, who are morally and sexually perfect if you let them tell it but in fact are fallible humans like the rest of us. Test them! Test the sex and moral police!

You claim you care about the poor welfare babies. That's a bigger lie than "Chicken Little" told.

Your record speaks for itself.

Now what you gonna do when the economic crisis in Asia and Latin America really hit America, hit Michigan. What you gonna do when your working relatives have to apply for assistance.

You gotta test them too? You miss 2 paychecks, you'll be in the same line!

Shame on you!

In Proverbs 29/18 it says "Where there is no vision the people perish."

That why I voted no on this mean spirited and I believe unconstitutional Bill!"

Rep. Hardman, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Today Feb. 9, 1999, I voted no on HB 4090. First because it allows testing for all FIP applicants without just cause. I feel the amendments offered by the Dems would have strengthened the bill however they were for the most part all denied."

Rep. Minore, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I opposed HB 4090 because the bill is not cost effective; it singles out public assistance recipients for testing even when there is no reason to test; it doesn't provide for treatment; it doesn't include alcohol abuse; and it is an intrusion into the private lives of citizens for one reason and one reason only. That they are poor. Moreover, amendments to increase fairness and assure reliability were defeated--including even that testing procedures be uniform."

Rep. Irma Clark, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I, Irma Clark, voted no because amendments that would protect the rights of innocent grandmothers were not accepted and the constitutional rights of those less fortunate will be violated."

House Resolution No. 13

A resolution supporting the decision of the City of Troy to display a National Day of Prayer Banner.

Whereas, The United States is founded on a tradition of religious tolerance which dates back to our earliest antecedents as colonies of religious dissidents seeking a place where they could worship without fear of persecution, and our history is characterized by social and political leaders who were uninhibited in their public expressions of faith, as typified by the following examples:

The Mayflower Compact, written in 1620, stated: "Having undertaken for the glory of God . . . we solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one another, covenant ourselves together."

At the Constitutional Convention in July of 1787, Benjamin Franklin said: "And the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth: that God governs the affairs of men . . . And without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of the Tower of Babel."

Our nation's first president, George Washington said in his Farewell Address of 1796: "Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports."

Thomas Jefferson, our nation's third president said: "Can the liberties of a nation be secure, when we have removed the conviction that these liberties are the gift of God?"

On April 30, 1863 during the Day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer, President Abraham Lincoln reminded Americans of their faith: "It is the duty of nations as well as men to own their dependence upon God; to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow . . . Those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."

The fourth verse of our Nation's national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner", "Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven-rescued land. Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause is just; And this be our motto, 'In God is our trust!'"

At the swearing in of Calvin Coolidge as the 30th President of the United States, he said: "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would ease to be practically universal in our country."

President Ronald Reagan said: "If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a Nation gone under."

; and

Whereas, The National Day of Prayer was established in 1952 by a Joint Resolution of Congress, which stated: "From its beginning the United States of America has been a nation fully cognizant of the value and power of prayer . . . Prayer has indeed been a vital force in the growth and development of this Nation"; and

Whereas, The City of Troy has promoted the National Day of Prayer in a non-sectarian manner by displaying a Prayer Day Banner on civic center property to recognize the annual event; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we support the decision of the collective voice of the people of Troy as expressed through their elected City Council to display the National Day of Prayer Banner; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the coordinators of this event as evidence of our support.

Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,

Rep. Raczkowski 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. Woronchak, Gilbert, Bisbee, Faunce, Van Woerkom, Richardville, Shulman, Koetje, Toy, Sanborn, Kukuk, DeVuyst, Julian, Caul, Gosselin, Godchaux, Ruth Johnson, Rocca, Bradstreet, LaSata, Jansen, Stamas, Birkholz, Cassis and Patterson offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 14.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress to enact legislation to prohibit the federal government from claiming any tobacco settlement money from the states or directing how they expend these funds.

Whereas, After a long and arduous effort, the states reached a settlement with several tobacco companies for damages to the public's health and to reform certain industry practices, including the impact of certain marketing efforts on children. The 1997 multi-billion dollar settlement extends over twenty-five years and includes the payment of money directly to the states and to funds established to address specific components of the settlement; and

Whereas, In the time since the settlement was reached, federal officials have raised various proposals for the federal government to claim portions of the settlement money. This possibility prompted legislation in the 105th Congress seeking to prohibit the federal government from seizing any state tobacco settlement funds. Legislation has been introduced in the 106th Congress, H.R. 351, to safeguard the states' money by prohibiting the Secretary of Health and Human Services from considering this money recoverable under Medicaid; and

Whereas, The settlement reached by the states and the tobacco industry was the result of risks, expenses, and initiatives of the states. They have every right to the funds to cover state health damages and costs. In carrying out the settlement provisions, the states must have the assurance that there will not be impediments to the settlement from any federal agency, including directives on how any of the funds can be spent. There can be no cloud of uncertainty hanging over the states as they project future activities in carrying out the directives of the agreement; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress to enact legislation to prohibit the federal government from claiming any tobacco settlement money from the states or directing how the states expend these funds; 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 resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.

Reps. Prusi, Bovin, Sheltrown, Kelly, Tesanovich, Schermesser, Cherry, DeHart, Scott, Hale, Bogardus, LaForge, Bob Brown, Mortimer, Garcia, Price, Kilpatrick, Brewer, Neumann, Vear, Brater, Minore, Rocca, Quarles, Rison, Mans, Sanborn, Hanley, Baird, Switalski, Lemmons, Daniels, Callahan, Dennis, Woodward, O'Neil, Wojno, Hansen, Clarke, Jamnick, Frank and Thomas offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 9.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States and the Veterans Affairs Administration to prevent the reduction of hospital bed capacity at the Iron Mountain Veterans Administration Medical Care Facility.

Whereas, The veterans who are treated at the Iron Mountain VA Medical Care Facility (VAMCF) have served our country with extreme dedication. They are deserving of our respect and care every day, not just on Veterans Day. We urge administrators and directors at the Veterans Affairs Health Administration to prevent the implementation of a policy that would greatly reduce the level of quality health care services for our veterans, especially in the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin; and

Whereas, The Iron Mountain VA Medical Care Facility covers a patient service area of over 25,000 square miles. Veterans from the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin depend on the full range of services provided by this facility. It is callous to ask veterans suffering from illness to travel approximately 300 miles (Sault Ste. Marie to Iron Mountain) and then another 200 miles (Iron Mountain to Milwaukee) by bus to receive care. This is what the Department of Veterans Affairs is asking of our veterans in the Upper Peninsula. In December of 1998, the VA bus broke down on the way to Milwaukee with 34 veterans who needed care. A second bus was called from Milwaukee to pick up the veterans and it also broke down. This is not a situation that facilitates a return to health; and

Whereas, There is a need for an increase of hospital beds in Iron Mountain, not a decrease. Several years ago, this hospital had approximately 200 beds. The decrease to the current 17 beds far surpasses the national decrease of VA bed utilization and places a tremendous hardship on our veterans and their families; and

Whereas, By providing quality outpatient services to veterans closer to their homes, the quality of care and the number of veterans served has been substantially improved. It does not make sense to reduce services to a facility that is providing much needed and necessary services. It is wrong to force our veterans to travel many hours, in harsh conditions, away from their families, and more appropriate to continue to provide the full range of services our veterans deserve at the Iron Mountain VA Medical Care Facility; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States and the Veterans Affairs Administration to prevent the reduction of hospital bed capacity at the Iron Mountain Veterans Administration Medical Care Facility; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy 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, Dr. Togo West Jr., Secretary, Veteran Health Administration, Dr. Kenneth Kizer, Undersecretary of Health, VA Administration, Dr.Hershel Gober, Deputy Secretary for Health, VA Administration and Dr. J. Cummings, Regional VA Network Director, Department of Veterans Affairs.

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