They need Your guidance and wisdom; they need prudence and courage in their deliberations. May Your spirit be with them today in a powerful way as they seek justice and the common good for all our people. When they leave this chamber today they will be weary, but may they also leave with hearts filled with peace because they have acted with integrity and with due regard for those in the greatest need. We ask Your blessing upon our work today and every day. Amen."

Motions and Resolutions

By unanimous consent the House considered House Resolution No. 309 out of numerical order.

The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 309.

A resolution offered as a memorial for Maxcine Young, former member of the House of Representatives.

Whereas, With great admiration for the accomplishments of her life in public service and civic activism, we offer this expression of respect in memory of Maxcine Young. We extend our sympathies to her family and friends as we acknowledge Maxcine Young's contributions to her community and our entire state; and

Whereas, Born in South Carolina, where she studied at South Carolina State College, Maxcine Young was active in business, political concerns, and community groups long before such leadership for an African-American woman was commonplace. A pioneer in many ways, Maxcine Young provided an example of participation in public life in Detroit in several areas. She helped establish the Women's Political Assembly and channeled her energies through the NAACP, the National Council of Negro Women, and church and charitable groups; and

Whereas, Maxcine brought her spirit of concern to Lansing in 1960, when she was elected to the House in a special election. She served with distinction until 1966, during a time of great transition in state government and in society. Her tenure as a lawmaker included the implementation of Michigan's 1963 Constitution, and she contributed to the work of reorganizing the structure of Michigan's government. For the 1965-66 legislature, Maxcine Young became one of the first three African-American women appointed to chair standing committees of the Michigan Legislature when she headed the Public Safety Committee; and

Whereas, As an elected official and civic leader, Maxcine Young provided an example of commitment that touched many lives. This legacy will long strengthen our state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we honor the memory of Maxcine Young, State Representative from Detroit from 1960 to 1966; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the family of Maxcine Young as evidence of our respect for her memory.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

House Resolution No. 308.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to consider sanctions against Austria to protest the policies of Joerg Haider.

Whereas, The policies and statements of Austrian political leader Joerg Haider have been met with alarm and condemnation by much of the European community and many other nations. The governor of the province of Carinthia and, until recently, the head of the Freedom Party, Joerg Haider is well known for remarks playing down the realities of the Holocaust and playing up old ethnic fears. In recent years, Haider has made many disturbing statements and used a divisive approach to attract support for the Freedom Party. His tactics and success have aroused fears of what would happen if he is successful in his aim to become the Chancellor of Austria in the near future; and

Whereas, Nations keenly aware of the horrors imposed on the world because of similar philosophies have reacted to Haider's remarks of sympathy for Nazi actions and policies. Canada and the European Union have voiced concerns, as have the United States and Israel. In addition to the disturbing nature of Haider's statements, the Jewish community in Vienna has made public its concerns over increased harassment during the Freedom Party's election campaign last summer; and

Whereas, The United States has taken strong diplomatic and economic stands against governments that oppress or threaten specific groups of people. The option of diplomatic or economic sanctions must be seriously considered if Austria follows the path of extremism and hatred; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to consider sanctions against Austria to protest the policies of Joerg Haider; 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 State.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on House Oversight and Operations.

Reps. Kuipers, Scranton, Jellema, Stamas, Pappageorge, Caul, Green, Ruth Johnson, DeVuyst, Cassis, Howell, Bisbee, Sanborn, Gosselin, Voorhees, Kukuk, Godchaux, Cameron Brown, Bishop, Vander Roest, Pumford, Bradstreet, Toy, Richner, Allen, Koetje, Rick Johnson, Middaugh, Ehardt, Garcia, Hart, Van Woerkom, Mead, Geiger, Byl, Shulman, Patterson, Jansen, Mortimer, Richardville, Kowall, DeRossett, Hager, Gilbert, Shackleton, Schauer, Julian, DeWeese, Raczkowski, Vear, Tabor, Woronchak, Daniels, O'Neil, Pestka, Frank, Sheltrown, Mans and Spade offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 310.

A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Installment Tax Correction Act of 2000.

Whereas, In 1999, the Congress of the United States passed Public Law 106-170, the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act. In part, this act severely limits the ability of several million small business owners to sell their businesses. This act forces owners to pay capital gains taxes after the sale of their businesses even if they receive the cash in installments over several years; and

Whereas, This tax is a small business killer. It affects more than 260,000 businesses nationwide since most businesses with less than $50 million in annual revenue rely on installment agreements to sell their companies. Moveover, this tax devalues businesses, disrupts thousands of sale transactions and forces owners who are set to retire upon the sale of their company to continue operating their businesses; and

Whereas, Small business owners prefer to pay capital gains taxes as the cash installments are received. This installment method is far more equitable than the current process; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact the Installment Tax Correction Act of 2000; and be it further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the President of the United States Senate, and the members of the Michigan congressional delegation.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.
