"Dear Speaker Barnes:                                                          
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am     
transmitting a bill relating to the improvement of state finances by           
reducing costs in the operations of certain state agencies and                 
authorizing state agencies to defray a greater portion of their costs          
through the imposition of fees.  A section-by-section description of this      
bill follows.                                                                  
                                                                               
Sections 1 - 32 of the bill authorize biennial renewal of liquor licenses      
by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board.  Under this bill, all liquor          
licenses that are now issued for a one-year period would be issued for         
a two-year period.  As a result of the transitional procedures in sec. 71
