Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill that generally makes confidential the                 
addresses and telephone numbers of persons identified in registration          
records, titles, and documents maintained by the division of motor             
vehicles (DMV), Department of Public Safety.  This information has             
been used by criminals to learn the residence address of a victim.             
Making this information generally confidential will help protect the           
public.
