Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill changing the statutory provision establishing         
the Alaska debt retirement fund.  This fund was established by the             
legislature in 1991 as a mechanism to ensure a long-term source of             
money for the debt service obligations of the state and local                  
governments, and to strengthen and add to the economy of the state             
(ch. 87, SLA 1991).  The statutory fund currently consists of all              
money appropriated to it.
