With that please pray with me, that we keep the wishes of our spiritual leader, and God, before us as we work for the citizens of Michigan today. And that He finds righteousness in our work today. Amen."

COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE REPORT
The following report, submitted by Rep. Richner, Chair of the Committee on Family and Civil Law, was received and read:
Meeting held on: Tuesday, February 16, 1999, at 10:30 a.m.,

The Committee on House Oversight and Operations, by Rep. Raczkowski, Chair, reported
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.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 8, p. 140.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for 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 1998 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 and S. 346, 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 Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the resolution would lie over one day.
