Rev. Dr. Mark C. Engle, Retired Pastor of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Marquette, offered the following invocation:

 

“Disturb us, Lord, when

We are too well pleased with ourselves,

When our dreams have come true

Because we have dreamed too little,

When we arrived safely

Because we sailed too close to the shore.

 

Disturb us, Lord, when

With the abundance of things we possess

We have lost our thirst

For the waters of life;

Having fallen in love with life,

We have ceased to dream of eternity

And in our efforts to build a new earth,

We have allowed our vision

Of the new Heaven to dim.

 

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,

To venture on wider seas

Where storms will show Your mastery;

Where losing sight of land,

We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back

The horizons of our hopes;

And to push into the future

In strength, courage, hope, and love.”

Messages from the Senate

 

 

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7.

A concurrent resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for William Broomfield, former member of the Michigan House of Representatives and Senate and the United States House of Representatives.

Whereas, It was with great sorrow that the members of the Michigan Legislature learned about the passing of William Broomfield. He will be remembered as a dedicated public servant by his constituents in southeast Michigan and the people of the state of Michigan; and

Whereas, Born and raised in Royal Oak, William Broomfield attended Michigan State College and served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during the Second World War before starting his career in real estate and property management; and

Whereas, William Broomfield was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1948 to represent the Fourth House District of Oakland County. During his third term, he served as Speaker Pro Tempore in the House, the youngest to serve in that position at the time. In 1954, William Broomfield was elected to the Senate where he served one term. In his district he was known as “Bill,” and his reputation was that of a decent, soft-spoken, behind-the-scenes legislator who worked hard to make his constituents proud; and

Whereas, William Broomfield had strong principles that guided his time as a public servant. As a fiscal conservative, he believed in an efficient government that represented the people while spending their tax dollars wisely. He introduced bills prohibiting a public service commissioner from gaining employment with a utility immediately following their time with the commission; he served as chairman of the special committee investigation into a children’s institution accused of fraud and neglect of children; and he called for and lead a special committee investigation on gasoline-price hikes in Michigan, among his myriad accomplishments while serving in the Michigan Legislature; and

Whereas, William Broomfield was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1956 where he served for 36 years. He spent 18 of those years as the ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee where he shaped foreign policy during the Cold War through the fall of the Berlin Wall. Despite advancing many important policies relating to world affairs, William Broomfield believed his most important vote was for the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and

Whereas, William Broomfield has left a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. His dedication to the people of Michigan and to the country is admirable and remains an example for those who have followed him into public service. May his family take some solace in his legacy and our fond memory of him; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of William Broomfield, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives from 1949 to 1954, the Michigan Senate from 1955 to 1956, and the United States House of Representatives from 1957 to 1992; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Broomfield family as evidence of our lasting esteem for his memory.

The Senate has adopted the concurrent resolution.

The Speaker and the entire membership of the House of Representatives were named co-sponsors of the concurrent resolution.

The question being on the adoption of the concurrent resolution,

The concurrent resolution was adopted by unanimous standing vote.

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Brann, Chirkun, Crawford, Leutheuser, Rendon, Shannon and Sneller offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 80.

A resolution to declare April 29-May 3, 2019, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, April 30, 2019, marks the 44th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War and the start of the eventual exodus of several million Vietnamese out of Vietnam after South Vietnam’s capital of Saigon fell to the communists on April 30, 1975; and

Whereas, For many Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans who were directly involved in the war and Vietnamese-Americans who have settled in the United States, the Vietnam War was a tragedy full of great suffering and the loss of American, Vietnamese, and Southeast Asian lives; and

Whereas, Over 58,000 people were killed and 304,000 were wounded out of the 2.59 million Americans who served in the Vietnam War. One out of every ten Americans who served in Vietnam became a casualty of war; and

Whereas, South Vietnamese armed forces lost 275,000 soldiers and many more wounded along with an unknown number of Vietnamese civilian casualties; and

Whereas, During the American evacuation of Saigon, the first wave of Vietnamese refugees, 135,000 strong, mostly military officers and their families, took temporary shelter through several international refugee camps at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Fort Chaffee in Arkansas, and Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania; and

Whereas, Starting in 1977, and lasting through the mid-1980s, a second wave of Vietnamese refugees comprised mostly of “boat people” began leaving Vietnam. Seeing no future under communism, nearly 800,000 boat people risked their lives in small, dangerous boats to travel to resettlement camps in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines before eventually being resettled in the United States. The Red Cross estimated that during that time, at least 300,000 Vietnamese died on the high seas while trying to escape communism; and

Whereas, After 1985, a third wave of Vietnamese refugees came to the United States under the Orderly Departure Program. In 1988, Congress passed the Operation Homecoming Act, a program allowing approximately 80,000 Amerasian children (offspring of GI fathers and Vietnamese mothers) to come to America; and

Whereas, By 1990, the fourth wave of Vietnamese refugees began arriving in the United States under the Humanitarian Operation and today, more than 1.7 million Vietnamese immigrants reside in the United States; and

Whereas, Studies using census data show that foreign-born Vietnamese entering the United States in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, have seen an increase in terms of English proficiency, proportion of college graduates, the number of owner-occupied housing, family median income, and naturalization; and

Whereas, Over the years, Vietnamese immigrants have overcome social, economic, and language barriers of unforeseen magnitude to grow and become the most assimilated along civic dimensions of any large group in America; and

Whereas, Through emphasis on intense study, Vietnamese-Americans have reached the pinnacles of American success in a variety of fields including business and entrepreneurship, science and technology, space travel, medicine, the executive branch of the United States government, politics, the United States military, the United States judicial system, professional sports, and, most recently, cultural icon status in cooking, modeling, acting, and comedy; and

Whereas, In order to serve their community and prosper in America, Vietnamese Americans formed well-established and thriving Vietnamese-American commercial districts throughout the United States, including an enclave in southeast Oakland County and in west Michigan; and

Whereas, More than 17,000 Vietnamese now live in Michigan; and

Whereas, We must teach our children and future generations the important lessons from the Vietnam War, including how the plight of the Vietnamese refugees following the end of war serves as a powerful example of the values of freedom and democracy; and

Whereas, Refugees and immigrants from the former Republic of Vietnam who came to the United States and settled as free Vietnamese-Americans are honored and remembered for their sacrifices for freedom and human rights and for their ongoing contributions to our democratic society; and

Whereas, The Vietnamese Heritage and Freedom flag, which is yellow with three horizontal red stripes, is the only symbol that can unite most Vietnamese around the world and bring them together under the banner that symbolizes the aspiration for freedom and democracy in their homeland; and

Whereas, Although united in sorrow as they commemorate April 30, 2019, as Black April, an occasion to reflect on the sacrifices of the past, Vietnamese-American communities throughout Michigan consider Black April a memorial and remembrance of the resilience of the Vietnamese people; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare April 29-May 3, 2019, as Black April Memorial Week in the state of Michigan. We recognize this as a special time for Michiganians to honor the tragedy of the suffering and countless lives lost during the Vietnam War era and to pay tribute to those lives lost by affecting human rights and freedom to the people of Vietnam.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.

 

 

Reps. Farrington, LaFave, Maddock, Alexander, Hall, Chirkun, Crawford and Rendon offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 81.

A resolution to urge the Congress of the United States to speedily approve the recently negotiated United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

Whereas, The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a close tri-lateral relationship between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. For more than 25 years, NAFTA has been economically, culturally and strategically important for all parties; and

Whereas, NATFA is significant for the American economy. Trade with Canada and Mexico supports nearly 12 million American jobs, and nearly 5 million of those jobs are supported by increased NAFTA trade. Since the agreement began in 1994, trade with Canada and Mexico has nearly quadrupled to $1.3 trillion, and the two countries buy more than one-third of U.S. merchandise exports. U.S. service exports to Canada and Mexico have also tripled, rising from $27.5 billion in 1993 to $91.3 billion in 2017, thanks to the trade agreement’s new market access and clearer rules; and

Whereas, Trade with Canada and Mexico is significant to U.S. states. For 43 states, our contiguous inter­national neighbors represent the first or second largest export market, and all but one state counts Canada or Mexico as a top three trading partner. Canada is Michigan’s largest export market, and Mexico is Michigan’s third largest export market. NAFTA has also contributed to a 300 percent increase in Michigan’s agricultural exports to Canada and Mexico; and

Whereas, Small and medium-sized enterprises in the United States rely on trade with Canada and Mexico to support and grow their business. Canada and Mexico are the top two export destinations for U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises, more than 125,000 of which sold their goods and services in Canada and Mexico in 2014; and

Whereas, Trade among our North American trading partners is made up predominantly of intellectual property (IP)-intensive goods and services that employ millions of Americans in high paying jobs and generate billions of dollars in economic output. However, many of the IP-intensive goods, services, and exchanges through which trade is facilitated did not exist when the agreement was drafted. This situation has resulted in uneven and weak IP enforcement. Stronger enforcement of IP rights will encourage more foreign direct investment and increase gross domestic product; and

Whereas, The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) creates a 21st century trade agreement for North America. The renegotiated USMCA has provisions favorable to U.S. autoworkers that would help level the playing field between U.S. and Mexican autoworkers. The updated agreement is also more beneficial to the agricultural sector than NAFTA and will offer a higher degree of certainty and stability to Michigan farmers. The new IP provisions are the most comprehensive of any multilateral U.S. trade agreement and are vastly superior to those included in NAFTA; and

Whereas, A seamless transition between NAFTA and the USMCA will ensure that none of the benefits in trade accomplished by the integration of the three North American economies will be lost; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we urge the Congress of the United States to speedily approve the recently negotiated United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement; 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 Government Operations.
