The House agreed to the title of the bill.

______

Rep. Gosselin, 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:

Crime is down, so why is this budget up?"

Rep. LaForge, 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:

This body's failure to adopt the Frank Amendment #7, which would have increased the funding for drug diversion programs, is short sighted. We were given the opportunity to save the state millions of dollars, and we failed in our duty."

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:

The budget fails to include provisions for drug courts and alternative dispute resolution centers; both of which are truly cost effective and socially productive. It also fails to include necessary funding for Appellate procedures. Therefore, in spite of agreeing with much of the substance of this bill, I voted no to protest the significant omissions cited above."

Reps. Lemmons and Basham, 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:

I voted no on House Bill 5279 because the bill fails to fund certain important programs fully enough to maximize their potential long-term benefits to the civil and criminal justice systems, to taxpayers and to society as a whole. Missed opportunities include the failure to appropriate the amounts the Judiciary itself requested for drug courts, community dispute resolution, the state appellate defender office and court security.

The failure to properly fund drug courts will mean a missed opportunity to save taxpayers dollars while decreasing the prison population.

The failure to properly fund court security means metal detectors currently in place will go unused, putting in jeopardy judges and other personnel that work for the courts.

It is for these reasons that I voted no on House Bill 5279."

Rep. Bogardus, 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 House Bill 5279 because the bill fails to fund certain important programs fully enough to maximize their potential long-term benefits to the civil and criminal justice systems, to taxpayers and to society as a whole. Missed opportunities include the failure to appropriate the amounts the Judiciary itself requested for drug courts, community dispute resolution, the state appellate defender office and court security.

The failure to properly fund drug courts will mean a missed opportunity to save taxpayers dollars while decreasing the prison population thus saving tax payer dollars.

The failure to properly fund court security means metal detectors currently in place will go unused, putting in jeopardy judges and other personnel that work for the courts.

It is for these reasons that I voted no on House Bill 5279."

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:

I voted no on this budget because it fails to properly fund important programs that will benefit Michigan citizens. This bill misses the opportunity to appropriately fund the amounts requested by the Judiciary itself for drug courts, community dispute resolution, the state appellate defender office and court security.

In spite of agreeing with much of the bill, we are missing the opportunity to support long term solutions that would save taxpayers future dollars while decreasing the prison population.

This bill even goes as far as not to appropriate enough money for proper security measures for the courts, thus putting judges and court personnel at risk in their place of employment.

It is for these reasons I voted no on House Bill 5279."

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

A clean environment is good public policy. That is why the citizens approved a $650 million environmental bond issue in 1998. With all those hundreds of millions, it seems excessive to also grow this area of government 33 percent faster than the rate of inflation."

Second Reading of Bills

Pending the Second Reading of

House Bill No. 4740, entitled

A bill to amend 1976 PA 451, entitled "The revised school code," (MCL 380.1 to 380.1852) by adding sections 1305 and 1306.

Rep. Raczkowski moved that the bill be referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

The motion prevailed.

By unanimous consent the House returned to the order of

Motions and Resolutions

Reps. Vaughn, Hale, Scott, LaForge, Kukuk, Bishop, Bovin, Hardman, Reeves, Thomas, Kelly, Kilpatrick, Tesanovich, Rivet, Price, Baird, Daniels, Cherry, Hansen, Clark, Rison, Martinez, Jacobs, DeWeese, Bogardus and Lemmons offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 304.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to provide humanitarian aid to the victims of political strife in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Whereas, Reports of ethnic clashes in the Democratic Republic of Congo indicate a level of suffering beyond description. Massacres, mutilation, and displacement have claimed thousands of innocent victims. The powerless individuals and families caught in the middle of warring groups are placed in horrific situations that often result in mass killings and brutality so widespread that the pain and misery will be felt far beyond this generation; and

Whereas, While there are many parties involved in the conflict in what was formerly known as Zaire, concerns raised by the plight of the thousands of victims of this political turmoil have nothing to do with the various groups involved. The demise of social order in the region extends beyond a single group. Schools, farms, medical facilities, livelihoods, and entire villages have been laid waste by the warfare to an extent that should be uniting other countries in compassion and concern; and

Whereas, Although it is clear that there are no easy solutions to the heartbreaking realities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, our country and other nations must take stronger actions to reach out to help the victims of this tragedy. A nation such as ours, blessed in so many ways, must exercise its leadership in doing all it can to help these men, women, and children who cannot help themselves; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to provide humanitarian aid to the victims of political strife in the Democratic Republic of Congo; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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. Vaughn, Kowall, Hale, Scott, LaForge, Kukuk, Bishop, Bovin, Hardman, Reeves, Thomas, Kelly, Kilpatrick, Tesanovich, Rivet, Price, Baird, Daniels, Cherry, Hansen, Clark, Faunce, Rison, Martinez, Jacobs, Minore, DeWeese, Bogardus and Lemmons offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 305.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to increase humanitarian aid to flood victims in Mozambique.

Whereas, The news accounts of the devastation from floods in Mozambique give us a glimpse of a tragedy that will likely be felt far into the future. Scenes of endless water and entire families perched in trees for many days in a desperate attempt to survive depict a nightmare that is all too real for as many as a million people. Even the extent of the suffering and the number of fatalities will not be known for a long time; and

Whereas, Beyond the initial need for boats, helicopters, food, medicine, and emergency shelter, the victims of the raging floodwaters of Mozambique now face an uncertain future in a land that has lost its crops and a significant portion of its infrastructure. Roads, bridges, rails, and buildings will all need to be rebuilt before longer term relief efforts can be fully effective. There is also a critical need to address the diseases that will follow and which are especially dangerous to weakened people who already lack sufficient clean water and adequate nutrition; and

Whereas, While the United States and other countries of the world have extended help to the beleaguered people of Mozambique, there is clearly much more that could be done to ward off further death and destruction to a nation facing such ruin. Long after the television cameras go on to new concerns elsewhere, Mozambique will be left with a rebuilding task that cannot be handled without substantial humanitarian aid. The United States, the most powerful nation on earth, has the opportunity to exert its leadership for the benefit of people in dire need; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress and the President of the United States to increase humanitarian aid to flood victims in Mozambique; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, 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. Middaugh, Cameron Brown, Bisbee, Vander Roest, Allen, Shulman, Hart, Gilbert, Hager, Woronchak, Koetje, Bradstreet, Sanborn, Jelinek, Van Woerkom, Kowall, Bishop, Vear, Gosselin, Birkholz, Pappageorge, Scranton, LaSata, Geiger, Faunce, Kukuk, Voorhees, Toy, Ruth Johnson, DeRossett, Shackleton, Stamas, Cassis, DeVuyst, Pumford, Jansen, Mortimer, Jellema, Tabor, Baird, Bovin, Kuipers and Raczkowski offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 306.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to examine the issue of fuel costs and to take steps to address the rise in prices.

Whereas, In a remarkably short period of time, the cost of oil has increased dramatically, with the per-barrel price tripling in a matter of months. Unlike other times of significant escalation in costs, there are no natural disasters or political crises that have triggered this rapid increase. From all reports, it seems that the spike in prices is due entirely to actions by oil-producing nations to raise prices; and

Whereas, Instability in the cost of an essential commodity like oil is a potential threat to much of the world's economy. Certain industries are already facing difficulties, and costs of commuting and heating are major concerns. As the increases work their way through the economy, the impact on basic activities, especially agriculture and transportation, will become more visible; and

Whereas, The steady strength of the American economy can be quickly eroded if fuel prices continue to rise at the recent rate. The implications are very serious, not only for our country, but for most of the world's industrialized nations; and

Whereas, There are a host of factors that determine the price of fuel. Although the laws of supply and demand are paramount, oil prices in our country reflect many other forces. While diplomatic efforts continue, there are policy options that may offer short-term or long-term relief. Fuel costs also reflect taxation policies; the use and levels of strategic reserves of petroleum; tax and regulatory policies on oil production, refining, and transportation; and efforts to promote alternate sources of energy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to examine the issue of fuel costs and to take steps to address the rise in prices; 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 Energy and Technology.

Bogardus, Scranton, Martinez, Hale, Baird, Jamnick, Minore, Sheltrown, Bovin, LaForge, Brater, Scott, Quarles, Clark, Garza, Switalski, Lemmons, Spade, Byl, Mans, Brewer, O'Neil, Woodward, Hansen, Lockwood, Ehardt, Vear, Hardman, Basham, Gieleghem, Dennis, Callahan, Vaughn, Schauer, Cherry, Thomas, Hanley, Price, Kilpatrick, Godchaux, Neumann, Kelly, Pestka, Rivet, Prusi, Ruth Johnson, Frank, DeHart, Daniels, Tesanovich, Rocca, Jacobs, Allen, Pumford and Mead offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 307.

A resolution to memorialize the United States Senate to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Whereas, The United States has taken numerous steps to speak out against various forms of discrimination in the world. However, we have remained silent on a measure that addresses a fundamental problem in much of the world--discrimination against women; and

Whereas, The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18, 1979. It became an international treaty on September 3, 1981. This treaty seeks to ease the burdens of oppression that are borne by women throughout the world; and

Whereas, In spite of the leadership that the United States has taken in many areas of human rights, our country has yet to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. This lack of support for all that the treaty represents comes in spite of the fact that the United States was an active participant in its drafting and a signatory to the convention. Our nation is one of the very few not ratifying the treaty; and

Whereas, The treaty to protect the health, safety, and basic rights of women has already had a positive impact in Sri Lanka and Zambia, which have used the convention to establish safeguards for women. These steps offer hope to the millions of the world's women who wake each day to struggles against economic, political, and social discrimination. The United States needs to add its support to help millions of women who face obstacles most Americans cannot fully comprehend; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the United States Senate to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States Senate, the United States Secretary of State, and Michigan's Senators.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Family and Civil Law.

Middaugh, Cameron Brown, Bisbee, Vander Roest, Allen, Shulman, Hart, Gilbert, Woronchak, Koetje, Bradstreet, Sanborn, Jelinek, Van Woerkom, Kowall, Bishop, Vear, Gosselin, Birkholz, Pappageorge, LaSata, Kuipers, Faunce, Geiger, Kukuk, Voorhees, Toy, Ruth Johnson, DeRossett, Shackleton, Stamas, Cassis, DeVuyst, Pumford, Jansen, Mortimer, Jellema, Tabor, Baird, Rocca, Jacobs, Bovin, Scranton and Raczkowski offered the following concurrent resolution:

House Concurrent Resolution No. 90.

A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to examine the issue of fuel costs and to take steps to address the rise in prices.

Whereas, In a remarkably short period of time, the cost of oil has increased dramatically, with the per-barrel price tripling in a matter of months. Unlike other times of significant escalation in costs, there are no natural disasters or political crises that have triggered this rapid increase. From all reports, it seems that the spike in prices is due entirely to actions by oil-producing nations to raise prices; and

Whereas, Instability in the cost of an essential commodity like oil is a potential threat to much of the world's economy. Certain industries are already facing difficulties, and costs of commuting and heating are major concerns. As the increases work their way through the economy, the impact on basic activities, especially agriculture and transportation, will become more visible; and

Whereas, The steady strength of the American economy can be quickly eroded if fuel prices continue to rise at the recent rate. The implications are very serious, not only for our country, but for most of the world's industrialized nations; and

Whereas, There are a host of factors that determine the price of fuel. Although the laws of supply and demand are paramount, oil prices in our country reflect many other forces. While diplomatic efforts continue, there are policy options that may offer short-term or long-term relief. Fuel costs also reflect taxation policies; the use and levels of strategic reserves of petroleum; tax and regulatory policies on oil production, refining, and transportation; and efforts to promote alternate sources of energy; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to examine the issue of fuel costs and to take steps to address the rise in prices; 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 concurrent resolution was referred to the Committee on Energy and Technology.
