Senate Resolution No. 129.
A resolution commemorating Bronson Methodist Hospital as the recipient of the 2001 Quality Leadership Award.
Whereas, Michigan hospitals provide excellent health care for patients from across the Great Lakes State and across the country. Our facilities contribute to their communities by providing thousands of jobs, supporting local charities, and promoting wellness; and
Whereas, Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo is a major medical center with 348 licensed beds, providing care in virtually every medical specialty. Bronson serves as a regional referral center for southwest Michigan and northern Indiana; and
Whereas, Bronson completed a $181 million redevelopment of its campus in 2000, receiving numerous awards for its design and healing environment. In 2001, Bronson was named by Modern Maturity magazine as one of the top 15 "Hospitals with Heart" in the United States for leadership in patient-centered care; and
Whereas, Bronson Methodist Hospital will receive the 2001 Quality Leadership Award, the state's highest award for outstanding quality and customer service, from the Michigan Quality Council on November 8, 2001. The Michigan Quality Council was created in 1983 by business leaders and is supported by Governor John Engler to promote Total Quality Management practices in business, educational institutions, and organizations throughout Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That tribute be accorded to Bronson Methodist Hospital and all of its employees, medical staff, and volunteers in recognition of their achievement in continuous quality improvement and clinical and service excellence symbolized by Bronson's receipt of the 2001 Quality Leadership Award; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to Bronson Methodist Hospital as evidence of our best wishes.
Senator Goschka was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
Senators Shugars, Garcia, Gougeon, Bullard, McManus, Sikkema, Stille, Bennett, Emmons, Gast, Schwarz, Hammerstrom, Dunaskiss, Schuette, North, Steil, McCotter and Scott offered the following resolution:
Senate Resolution No. 130.
A resolution commemorating the contributions of Michigan veterans to preserving American freedoms.
Whereas, Throughout the course of American history, courageous men and women have taken up arms to secure, defend, and maintain the principles on which our nation's freedoms depend; and
Whereas, Terrorists ruthlessly attacked our land and our freedoms. Their attempt to assail the American spirit failed, and our nation's response reveals the spirit of freedom is as strong as ever. American troops are now fighting overseas to defeat terrorism, following in the footsteps of the 48 million men and women who have stepped forward to defend our land since our nation's founding; and
Whereas, There are more than 25 million living veterans who served our nation in times of peace and war. These veterans have diverse religious beliefs and come from varying backgrounds and ethnicities. Through their service, they kept America strong, and they have protected our way of life from tyranny's grip for over two centuries. At this moment, men and women from Michigan are serving in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard around the world. They represent our resolute dedication to achieving a lasting peace out of the challenges and threats of the 21st century; and
Whereas, Veterans Day is a time to pause and reflect on the sacrifices of all those who have served in the United States military. Let us especially honor our veterans from Michigan, who have proved their heroism and love of country again and again--from Gettysburg to Iwo Jima, from the Chosin Reservoir to the Persian Gulf. They defended our ideals across the globe, and they continue to inspire those who defend America today half a world away; and
Whereas, More than a million American men and women have died in service to America, and more than a million and a half have been wounded. Some sustained serious injuries in combat and now live with disabilities. The nation will always be grateful for the noble sacrifices of our veterans; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That tribute be accorded to all Michigan veterans who have served in the United States military for their sacrifices in demonstrating the timeless truth that freedom is not free. We urge all Michigan citizens to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to Michigan veterans, their families, and service organizations as a token of our appreciation for their service.
Senators Young and DeBeaussaert were named co-sponsors of the resolution.
Senate Resolution No. 109.
A resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States to enact legislation to permit states to promote long-term care insurance under Medicaid.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
Senator Shugars was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
Senators Goschka, Dunaskiss, Bennett, Steil, McCotter, Bullard and Garcia offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 46.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize Congress to support the efforts of World War II American POWs seeking restitution and apologies from Japan.
Whereas, Even amid the incalculable suffering and death of World War II, the horrors that faced Americans imprisoned by the Japanese stand out as atrocities that were truly inhuman. The Americans who surrendered in the Bataan Peninsula after a hopeless five months of fighting experienced a degree of depravity in their treatment that is difficult to comprehend. The murder, torture, and cruelty of the Bataan Death March and the subsequent imprisonment were followed by the brutalities of forced labor in factories and mines operated by several prominent Japanese corporations; and
Whereas, Efforts by the survivors of Japanese prisons and forced labor to seek restitution and a modicum of justice have been thwarted all these years by provisions of the treaty between the United States and Japan that ended the war. The clear and repeated violations of the Geneva Convention and human decency that took place in captivity under the Japanese have been shielded by treaty provisions that waived future claims. However, the treaty apparently also provided that restitutions could be sought if other nations received them. Reportedly, eleven nations have agreed to some type of terms; and
Whereas, Beyond the clear illegalities of forced labor on behalf of companies and the nation of Japan, there are moral issues that clearly cry out for resolution. The ever-decreasing number of survivors of these horrors certainly deserve justice, however delayed it may be; and
Whereas, There is a bill pending in Congress, H.R. 1198, that would help these POWs in their court actions seeking compensation and formal apologies. Clearly, action to help these heroes is long overdue; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we memorialize Congress to support the efforts of World War II American POWs seeking restitution and apologies from Japan; 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.
Pending the order that, under rule 3.204, the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Government Operations,
Senator Emmons moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,
Senator Emmons moved that the concurrent resolution be referred to the Committee on Senior Citizens and Veterans Affairs.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hart was named co-sponsor of the concurrent resolution.
House Concurrent Resolution No. 43.
A concurrent resolution to memorialize the Congress of the United States, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State to increase efforts to account fully for American military personnel missing in action in southeast Asia.
Whereas, One of the most difficult aspects of the losses and sacrifices associated with military service during war is the heartbreak caused by those who are missing in action. Families and friends of those lost in war endure years and decades of the unique pain of not knowing a loved one's fate, which makes healing or any sense of peace almost impossible to know; and
Whereas, The protracted and complex American military involvement in southeast Asia resulted in a large number of personnel reported missing in action. While considerable progress has been made in resolving many of these cases and in returning remains where possible, there are still hundreds--perhaps nearly 2,000--Americans unaccounted for in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and nearby countries; and
Whereas, Just as these patriots made a commitment to serve our nation, our country has a moral commitment to work to find and return home America's MIAs. Our nation cannot abandon the men and women who have served us overseas during times of conflict. Carrying out the work of accounting for each person is important not only to the families of these individuals, but also to the citizens of our country today. This work is especially significant for our young people, who must learn and never forget the high price of our liberty and the true meaning of loyalty to our ideals and to one another; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That we memorialize the Congress of the United States, the Department of Defense, and the Department of State to increase efforts to account fully for American military personnel missing in action in southeast Asia; 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, the Department of Defense, and the United States Department of State.
The House of Representatives has adopted the concurrent resolution.
