The Rev. Delano Bowman, Pastor, Bethel A.M.E. Church, Saginaw, and the uncle of Rep. Derrick Hale, offered the following invocation:

"God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has granted unto this nation the democratic idea by which our destiny may be fashioned. We thank Thee that Thou has blessed our land to survive the infectious climate of confusion and uncertainty, helplessness and irresponsibility by preserving among us enlightened and concerned citizens who cherish their heritage and who have purpose in their hearts to extend it.

We thank Thee for like-minded leaders whom Thou has raised up to guide our Republic. Now, we pray that Thou would grant those whom we have entrusted with the authority of our government to be responsible, wise, courageous, and strong and to guide us--the people--to expect of them and to support them in all wise legislation and in a faithful administration. May we all prosper under equal law. Defend our liberties, God, and grant us a sense of our responsibility. Allow us to achieve unity of purpose among us and grant unto us a victory of faith and the ideals to which we are committed as a nation. Strengthen us with honor and grant us peace. Provide us, O God, with the strengthand spiritual substance for performance with might--a task with which our common life yet confronts us. Amen."

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Alley, Baade, Gire, Wetters, Freeman, Kaza, McBryde, Dalman, Baird, Richner, Mans, DeHart, Kelly, Anthony, Green, Brater, Tesanovich, Cherry, Bodem, LaForge, Raczkowski and Bogardus offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 31.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.

Whereas, In recent years, the dramatic rise in the costs of political campaigns has raised serious concerns across this country. The need to raise staggering amounts of money to run for public office comes with risks to public belief in our system of self-government. When candidates spend millions of dollars on election campaigns, the integrity of the process is threatened. It is now commonplace for congressional campaigns to be so expensive that fund raising becomes, in effect, another full-time job; and

Whereas, The citizens of this country have the right to know that the men and women they elect to office are making policy decisions based on information and beliefs and not financial considerations. Without faith in the system, citizen participation will fall to levels that cannot sustain our democracy; and

Whereas, In the face of growing concerns, the 104th Congress considered, but did not enact, legislation to bring new standards to campaign finance. The McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act is under consideration again. It seeks to limit spending in return for free prime-time television, to ban unregulated "soft money," to encourage candidates to raise the majority of campaign money from the candidate's home state, and to minimize the influence of money at the expense of the influence of the people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act; 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 Ethics.

Reps. Lowe, Llewellyn, Hammerstrom, Whyman, Kaza, Walberg, Cropsey, Green, Horton, McManus, Goschka, McBryde, Dalman, Bodem, Raczkowski, Jaye, Middleton, McNutt, Tesanovich, London, Prusi, Voorhees, Gernaat, Kukuk and Jansen offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 32.

A resolution to affirm support of individual property rights in Stupak-Thrall v. United States.

Whereas, Recognition of the rights of property owners is found throughout our legal system. These rights are central to the operation of free enterprise as well as the actions of individual citizens. Under our federal system, states are charged with the responsibility to regulate activities as a power entrusted to them by the United States Constitution; and

Whereas, A recent court case, Stupak-Thrall v. United States, has raised serious questions concerning the ability of the federal government to ignore the rights of states to regulate the uses of privately owned property within a state's borders. In this case, the federal government has exercised control, which has upset the balance of state-federal authority. This has the potential to limit severely Michigan's ability to regulate the activities and monitor the rights of the Michigan residents living adjacent to the 3.5 million acres of federal land within Michigan's borders; and

Whereas, In 1987, with the enactment by Congress of the Michigan Wilderness Act, an area of land that surrounds tracts of privately owned property became part of the Sylvania Wilderness Area. For property owners living on the shores of Crooked Lake in Gogebic County, the United States Forest Service began enforcement of restrictions that took away the rights of the private owners. The Forest Service prohibited certain activities altogether and required permits for other activities. The effect of the restrictions was to abolish many specific property rights for owners; and

Whereas, Pursuit of judicial relief in this matter has proven elusive. Actions in federal court have not reversed Forest Service authority that ignores all riparian rights granted in state law, including fishing and swimming. The result of the United States Supreme Court's actions in declining to review the case is a serious threat to all property rights; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we affirm support of individual property rights in Stupak-Thrall v. United States; and be it further

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Forestry and Mineral Rights.

Mans, Gire, Callahan, Brown, Wojno, Thomas, Schauer, Bogardus, Rison, Quarles, Frank, Agee, Emerson, Parks, Mathieu, Brater, Price, Prusi, Goschka, Baade, DeHart, Kelly, Anthony, Freeman, Green, Tesanovich, Cherry, Bodem, Harder, Wetters, LaForge, Kaza, Kukuk, Raczkowski and Bogardus offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 34.

A concurrent resolution to create a special committee to study and make recommendations regarding Michigan's campaign finance laws.

Whereas, Trust and integrity are the cornerstone of democracy. The people must believe that the men and women they elect to represent them will be acting on the basis of information, knowledge, and commitment to the common good of society and fairness. This trust and integrity should not be compromised by financial obligations; and

Whereas, In recent years, dramatic escalations in the costs of campaigns has caused great concern. It has become routine for the costs of certain campaigns to exceed by many times the salary paid for the elective offices. The need for more and more money brings a host of problems and results in people becoming increasingly cynical about elections; and

Whereas, The issue of campaign finance reform is difficult to resolve. Attempts at public financing, controlling levels of certain contributions, and requirements for reporting have proven to be of only limited effectiveness. Any effective solution will have to come from a truly bipartisan effort and discussions outside of the standing committee process; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That there be created a special committee to study and make recommendations regarding Michigan's campaign finance laws. The special committee will consist of eight members, two from each caucus in each house, with the members for each of the respective caucuses selected by the Speaker and by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and by the Majority Leader and by the Minority Leader of the Senate. The committee will report its recommendations to the legislature by September 30, 1997.

Communications from State Officers

The following communication from the West Central Michigan Employment & Training Consortium was received and read:

March 31, 1997

On behalf of the West Central Michigan Workforce Development Board (WDB) and Local Elected Officials (LEO), it is my pleasure to share this initial summary of Job training Plans with you. This summary updates funding expected to be available from the federal Job Training Partnership Act for a range of programs operated in the West Central area.

As you know, local Workforce Development Boards (WDB) and Local Elected Officials (LEO) are working with a variety of partners on the development of an Integrated "No Wrong Door" delivery system to be operated under the statewide Michigan Works! name. Michigan Works! West Central covers the five county area which includes Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Newaygo, and Osceola counties.

All programs will be operated from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998, with the exception of the JTPA Title IIB Summer Youth Employment & Training Program with operational dates from when school is out for the summer until September 30, 1997. Work in preparation for this program has already begun.

The Title II activities serve economically disadvantaged youth and adults with a variety of training activities, from basic training, to skill training in a school and training with a private business. Title III activities serve dislocated workers, those who have lost their jobs due to a permanent layoff or the closing of a business.

As part of the ongoing development of the Michigan Works! system, Request for Proposals (RFP) have been issued soliciting bidders for these programs and activities. The WDB/LEO have determined all adult activities will be operated together, and all youth activities will be operated together on not less than a county basis. This will keep services unified in operation and easily identified by job seeking and employer customers of the system in each county.

If you wish to make comments, or desire additional information on the planned activities, please contact Michigan Works! West Central at (616) 796-4891.

Thank you for your continued interest and support of Job Training activities in this area.
