You have established in our midst law-making powers dedicated to the upholding of order and liberty. I beseech You, bless and preserve our form of government in State and nation. Grant that our legislators may ever be mindful of the welfare of all their constituents. Grant that they be guided to serve unselfishly the common good of the people. Preserve them from all double-dealing, pettiness, and self-seeking. Protect, I beseech You, those liberties of rule by representation which are the cornerstone of our Government. 1 1995-02-22 House Journal Page 0436 Teach us Christians the grace to use our freedom to proclaim Your Word and use each and every opportunity to serve our fellow men.

These blessings grant us, dear Lord, for Jesus' sake. Amen." The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative James.

MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR The following Governor's letter, dated February 20, 1995, was read: "Dear President Phillips: In the spirit of change which our constituents demanded in last fall's election, let's be bold enough to do away with business as usual. With this letter, I invite you to join with me in moving forward in a cooperative manner on confirmations. The Legislature's action regarding appointments to boards and commissions taken during a joint session on February 15, 1995, underscores the importance of clarifying the law regarding gubernatorial appointments and the Legislature's delegated powers of confirmation. Alaskans are not well served by unnecessary confrontations between the legislative and executive branches of government. 1995-02-22 House Journal Page 0437 This dispute does a disservice to the Alaskans who have volunteered their time on various boards and commissions and casts a legal cloud on actions taken by the quasi-judicial and regulatory bodies involved. Nor is it fair or reasonable to ask these citizens to resolve this dispute in court. As the sitting governor, I have the authority to transmit to the Legislature the names of appointments to boards and commissions. This authority exists regardless of actions made by my predecessor in office. I understand that you disagree with this view of the law. However, I am confident that you agree that a final determination by the Alaska Supreme Court would avoid a repeat of this dispute, which invariably occurs during the initial term of every governor. For these reasons, I request your cooperation in immediately bringing before our courts a test of the validity of the confirmations allegedly approved by the Legislature. I am told that only through legal action can this matter be resolved with finality. Only in this way can the affected boards and commissions proceed with their work with a minimum of disruption. By clarifying the rules, we all win. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" COMMUNICATIONS A letter and report dated February 15, 1995, was received from Joseph P.
