Rep. Michael C. Murphy, from the 69th District and Pastor of St. Stephen's Community Church, United Church of Christ in Lansing, offered the following invocation:
"Search us, O God, into our hearts. Try us and know our thoughts. See if there are any wrong ways within us. Lead us in Your way--everlasting. We pray, almighty God, thanking You for another day. We thank You, Lord, that we could assemble here once again as the Michigan House of Representatives. Lord, we come this day remembering the people of this great state. We come remembering our seniors. We pray, Lord, that You would bless and keep each and every senior. We pray for our children. We pray, Lord, that You would watch over them and keep them safe. We pray, Lord, for the sick and the afflicted, those in hospitals, those in nursing homes and those in other living arrangements. We pray, Lord, for the working men and women of this state. We pray, Lord, for those who labor each and every day to make this a great state. We pray right now, Lord, that You would be with this body as we deliberate on the issues of the day. Lord, we come in light of September eleventh, knowing that we are people of different faiths, but we are one people. We are all Americans and we pray that we would continue to come together as Americans--agreeing to disagree while remembering what the master said that, 'we all may be one.' We pray this day that this body would deliberate and come up with good public policy that benefits and blesses each and every citizen of this state. We will give Your name the praise, the honor, the glory and that the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our redeemer. Amen."

Motions and Resolutions
Reps. Woronchak, Richardville, Patterson, Neumann, Raczkowski, Rich Brown, Spade, Ehardt, Caul and Vander Veen offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 240.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to work with the airline industry to permit members of the military who are in uniform to fly free on domestic flights.
Whereas, In the wake of the events of September 11, 2001, many steps have been taken to increase security in our country, especially throughout our air transportation network. There have also been several suggestions for mechanical and procedural modifications to bring greater security to the nation's commercial air fleet; and
Whereas, One option that seems to hold great potential to increase security at minimal cost and inconvenience would be to permit members of the military to fly for free on domestic flights. Uniformed members of any of the branches of the military, including the National Guard, could prove to be an effective deterrent and visible reassurance to passengers and crew; and
Whereas, Congress and the airline industry could establish a policy to implement this idea. Aspects worth considering include limitations on the number of free uniformed military personnel on each flight and reimbursement of the airlines by the government in situations where the uniformed military passengers would result in a loss of paying customers on flights that do not have empty seats; and
Whereas, As the President and other national leaders have indicated, solving the problems facing our country will require layers of added security rather than a single solution. Encouraging the presence of uniformed members of our nation's military, men and women devoted to their country's service, could be a significant component of our national response; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to work with the airline industry to permit members of the military who are in uniform to fly free on domestic flights; 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 Commerce.
Reps. Caul, Richardville, Patterson, Woronchak, Neumann, Raczkowski, Rich Brown, Spade, Ehardt, Tabor, Bradstreet, Faunce, Vander Veen, Mead, DeWeese, Julian, Voorhees, Van Woerkom, Bishop, Meyer, Cassis, Vander Roest, Stewart, Toy, Gilbert, Ruth Johnson, Garza, Lemmons, Jelinek, Birkholz, Callahan, Howell, Shackleton, Bogardus, Kilpatrick, Middaugh, Schermesser, Hager, Kowall, Scranton, Vear, Shulman and Hardman offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 241.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to authorize the Michigan National Guard to establish a full-time civil support team.
Whereas, The events of September 11, 2001, and subsequent threats have galvanized our nation's defenses and caused us to reexamine our preparedness. The step of putting National Guard personnel in airports represents only the start of new procedures and attitudes our country will be taking in the weeks and months to come; and
Whereas, There is great interest in Michigan in establishing a full-time civil support team to be in place to respond to a situation involving weapons of mass destruction, including chemical or biological weapons. Since the federal government began funding these specially trained units in the wake of bombings at the World Trade Center in 1993 and in Oklahoma in 1995, 27 states have developed civil support teams; and
Whereas, Michigan's unique geography and resources argue convincingly for the establishment of a civil support team to deal with a terrorist crisis. As a border state, a highly populated state, a center of industry, a steward of the Great Lakes, and a state with the busiest single border crossing point along our northern border, Michigan is on America's front lines in many ways; and
Whereas, The civil support teams are organized under the direction of the governor. These units are charged with identifying vulnerable points and working with local authorities on how to handle any situation. The teams provide immediate response and coordination with other military units that would arrive to cope with chemical, biological or nuclear dangers. Clearly, it is in the best interest of our entire nation that Michigan be better equipped to handle threats from weapons of mass destruction; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the Congress of the United States to authorize the Michigan National Guard to establish a full-time civil support team; 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 Veterans Affairs.
Reps. Bishop, Richardville, Allen, Van Woerkom, Kowall, DeVuyst, Koetje, Pappageorge, Ehardt, Mortimer, Thomas, McConico, Neumann, Patterson, Woronchak, Stewart, Kuipers, Raczkowski, Mead, DeWeese, Sanborn, Julian, Voorhees, Vander Veen, Faunce, Meyer, Cassis, Vander Roest, Toy, Ruth Johnson, Jansen, Garza, Lemmons, Wojno, Jelinek, Spade, Rich Brown, Lipsey, Birkholz, Callahan, Howell, Shackleton, Bogardus, Jamnick, Murphy, Kilpatrick, Caul, Schermesser, Hager, Kolb, Scranton, Vear, Shulman, Hardman and Bernero offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 242.
A resolution to memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to provide that a portion of emergency supplemental appropriations be allocated to address security at Michigan's international ports of entry.
Whereas, The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and subsequent events have made it clear that our nation must reexamine every aspect of national security. The disturbing information that the perpetrators of the murders in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania lived among us and plotted their strategies as visitors to our country demonstrates a need to strengthen protections at the entry points to our country; and
Whereas, Michigan's border ports of entry are among the most important along the United States-Canada border. The volume of goods and people passing through customs at the Ambassador Bridge, Windsor Tunnel, Blue Water Bridge, International Bridge, and Detroit Metropolitan Airport reflects the close economic ties between Michigan and Ontario. Indeed, the economic vitality of the region and the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of workers on both sides of the border are directly tied to the free, secure, and swift passage of people and materials through the ports of entry each day; and
Whereas, There is little question that the customs and immigration staffing at the Michigan-Ontario border crossings is insufficient. This has long been an issue. The heightened security measures now required represent a substantial threat to the economy of this region without a significant and swift infusion of more resources and personnel to address the delays at Michigan's ports of entry. Clearly, the recently approved $40 billion emergency supplemental appropriation should include allocations to increase staffing and resources at Michigan's ports of entry; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to provide that a portion of emergency supplemental appropriations be allocated to address security at Michigan's international ports of entry; 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 Transportation.
Reps. Bogardus, Hale, Minore, Woodward, Lipsey, Clark, Neumann, Dennis, Gieleghem, Lockwood, O'Neil, DeWeese, Stewart, Garza, Ruth Johnson, Lemmons, Jacobs, Spade, Rich Brown, Birkholz, Jamnick, Murphy, Hager, Kolb, Scranton, Adamini and Hardman offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 243.
A resolution to memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to increase support and humanitarian aid for the refugees from Afghanistan in Pakistan and other neighboring countries.
Whereas, The bombing campaign seeking to destroy terrorist camps and centers in Afghanistan in retaliation for the September 11 attacks is adding to hardships suffered by millions of innocent people. War weary refugees, already suffering at the hands of the Taliban, are now in or seeking to reach camps in Pakistan and other neighboring countries. The difficulties these people face are beyond the imagination of almost all Americans; and
Whereas, By some estimates, as many as 1.5 million more people have left or are trying to leave the country of Afghanistan, joining the hundreds of thousands who have left the chaos and famine of their homeland in recent years; and
Whereas, While the air campaign against terrorist centers includes air drops of thousands of packages of food designed to help the people, and while our country is involved in humanitarian efforts for those who are in neighboring countries in refugee camps, we need to maintain and increase assistance. With reports of innocent people being killed by mistake in the attacks, we have to do all we can to demonstrate our strong commitment to helping the innocent; and
Whereas, Helping the Afghan refugees is a moral responsibility that reflects on the character of our country. In addition, following the example of the Marshall Plan after World War II, we can help sow the seeds of stability in an area that has known little but war and chaos for more than a generation. Indeed, doing all we can to relieve the suffering and hunger of the refugees is an important task before us at this difficult juncture in our history; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we memorialize the President and the Congress of the United States to increase support and humanitarian aid for the refugees from Afghanistan in Pakistan and other neighboring countries; 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. Richardville, Patterson, Woronchak, Rivet, Neumann, Raczkowski, Stewart, Meyer, Spade, Rich Brown, Caul and Vander Veen offered the following concurrent resolution:
House Concurrent Resolution No. 45.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to work with the airline industry to permit members of the military who are in uniform to fly free on domestic flights.
Whereas, In the wake of the events of September 11, 2001, many steps have been taken to increase security in our country, especially throughout our air transportation network.

House Concurrent Resolution No. 46.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to authorize the Michigan National Guard to establish a full-time civil support team.
Whereas, The events of September 11, 2001, and subsequent threats have galvanized our nation's defenses and caused us to reexamine our preparedness.

House Resolution No. 83.
A resolution establishing the month of April as Michigan Minority Health Month.
(For text of resolution, see House Journal No. 30, p. 423.)
With the recommendation that the following substitute (H-1) be adopted and that the resolution then be adopted.
Substitute for House Resolution No. 83.
A resolution establishing the month of April as Michigan Minority Health Month.
Whereas, In 2000, the U.S. Surgeon General of the Public Health Service announced as a goal, the elimination by 2010 of health disparities experienced by racial and ethnic minorities in health access and outcome in six areas including infant mortality, cancer screening, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and human immunodeficiency virus infection, and immunizations; and
Whereas, Despite notable progress in the overall health of the nation, there is a crisis of minority health, consisting of continuing disparities in the burden of illness and death experienced by African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Asians, and Pacific Islanders, compared to the United States population as a whole; and
Whereas, Minorities suffer more than 60,000 excess deaths annually compared to nonminorities. They are more likely than nonminorities to die from cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, chemical dependency, diabetes, infant mortality, violence, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and more likely to suffer from oral health diseases; and
Whereas, Minority populations are not benefiting equitably from advances in medical research and technology. The minority population face substantial cultural, social, and economic barriers to obtaining access to and delivery of health care; and
Whereas, Minorities have made significant contributions to the state of Michigan, yet are under represented in the health care professions. The crisis in minority health results in losses of billions of dollars by the state of Michigan because of reduced productivity and increased health care expenditures; and
Whereas, The establishment of a Michigan Minority Health Month for the month of April would encourage all health organizations in the state of Michigan to host activities to promote healthfulness in minority communities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That it is the sense of the Michigan Legislature that there should be established a Michigan Minority Health Month. That the Governor should issue a proclamation encouraging all health organizations in the state of Michigan to host activities to promote healthfulness in minority communities and calling upon the people of the state of Michigan to observe such a month with appropriate programs and activities; and be it further
Resolved, That in conjunction with such a month, the Director of Community Health should make information available to the public on the health problems currently facing minority populations and on the careers and contributions of minority health professionals and present public service announcements on health promotion and disease prevention among minorities in the state of Michigan; and be it further
Resolved, That this legislative body believes that there is a concern in minority health, consisting of continuing disparities in the burden of illness and death experienced by minorities compared to the population of the state of Michigan as a whole and the population of nonminorities. Public awareness of the effects of the crisis in minority health should be increased. The minority representation in the health care professions should be increased, state appropriations should be allocated for activities directed toward improving the health of minorities in this state, particularly health research and education, and targeted health promotion and disease prevention in initiatives should be presented in a manner that is culturally sensitive to minority populations.
The Speaker announced that under Rule 77 the resolution would lie over one day.
