Dan Rutherford Committee for the Senate Committee for the House A message from the Senate by Mr. Harry, Secretary: Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has adopted the following Senate Joint Resolution, in the adoption of which I am instructed to ask the concurrence of the House of Representatives, to-wit: SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 56 WHEREAS, The State College Housing Construction Act limits the authority of the governing boards of State colleges and universities to construct or operate, directly or indirectly through any other public or private organization, any new housing project without the prior approval and determination of the General Assembly that the specific project is in the public interest; and WHEREAS, The General Assembly and the cities of Champaign and Urbana have encouraged the University of Illinois to expand its role in economic development and its efforts to work with appropriate State and private agencies, local community leaders, and others interested in economic development; and WHEREAS, The General Assembly finds that the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois is selecting a developer through a competitive process to develop a commercial district on the east side of campus that would contain private apartment-style housing and has selected a different developer, after a competitive process, to develop
[April 18, 2002] 22 a research park that could include a hotel-conference center, both of which meet this economic development interest; and WHEREAS, These facilities would serve the community, promote economic development, and provide other benefits to the East-Central Illinois area; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING HEREIN, that we approve and determine to be in the public interest, pursuant to the State College Housing Construction Act, projects on land owned by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois and leased for the purpose of construction, maintenance, and operation of a residential housing complex and a hotel and conference facility by a private firm, partnership, or corporation selected through a competitive process, under such terms and conditions as the Board of Trustees may deem advisable; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois.

Jim Harry, Secretary of the Senate The foregoing message from the Senate reporting their adoption of SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 56 was placed in the Committee on Rules. A message from the Senate by Mr. Harry, Secretary: Mr. Speaker -- I am directed to inform the House of Representatives that the Senate has adopted the following Senate Joint Resolution, in the adoption of which I am instructed to ask the concurrence of the House of Representatives, to-wit: SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 57 WHEREAS, Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the State of Illinois and throughout the Nation; and WHEREAS, Cancer is disproportionately a disease of the elderly, with more than half of all cancer diagnoses occurring in persons age 65 or older, who are thus dependent on the federal Medicare program for provision of cancer care; and WHEREAS, Treatment with anti-cancer drugs is the cornerstone of modern cancer care; elderly cancer patients must have access to potentially life-extending drug therapy, but the Medicare program's coverage of drugs is limited to injectable drugs or oral drugs that have an injectable version; and WHEREAS, The Nation's investment in biomedical research has begun to bear fruit with a compelling array of new oral anti-cancer drugs that are less toxic, more effective and more cost-effective than existing therapies, but, because such drugs do not have an injectable equivalent, they are not covered by Medicare; and WHEREAS, Non-coverage of these important new products leaves many Medicare beneficiaries confronting the choice of either substantial out-of-pocket personal costs or selection of more toxic, less effective treatments that are covered by the program; and WHEREAS, Medicare's failure to cover oral anti-cancer drugs leaves at risk many beneficiaries suffering from blood-related cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma, as well as cancers of the breast, lung, and prostate; and WHEREAS, Certain Members of the United States Congress have
23 [April 18, 2002] recognized the necessity of Medicare coverage for all oral anti-cancer drugs and introduced legislation in the 107th Congress to achieve that result (H.R. 1624: S. 913); therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONCURRING HEREIN, that we respectfully urge the Congress of the United States to adopt legislation requiring the Medicare program to cover all oral anti-cancer drugs; and be it further RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the President of the United States, Members of the United States Congress, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
