Dear God, we give thanks for a new day and new                                
challenges. We thank You for the beauty of the                                 
earth You have created and the opportunities of                                
service You give to us.                                                        
                                                                               
As we begin the last half of the Legislature we pray                          
that we would be given the energy to work                                      
diligently to enact laws for the good of the people                            
of this great land. Where there is conflict help there                         
to be resolution, where there is disagreement may                              
there be a coming together of minds and hearts.                                
                                                                               
May the senators find meaning in their work using                             
the best of the gifts You have given to them. May                              
they find courage to speak boldly for what is right                            
and good, show compassion and express respect in                               
working with others who may not always agree with                              
them.

When this day is over following long meetings,                                
telephone conversations, messages received and                                 
returned, dialogue with coworkers, and the reading                             
of endless reports may each person here be able to

I have done.                                                                   
                                                                               
We pray this to the one who created us and sustains                           
us through all of life.                         Amen.

Dear President Miller:                                                         
                                                                               
I am transmitting a bill that provides for legislative approval of a           
royalty oil contract between the state and Mapco Alaska Petroleum,             
Inc. for the sale of Prudhoe Bay Unit royalty oil.  A copy of the              
resolution of the Alaska Royalty Oil and Gas Development Advisory              
Board, recommending approval of that contract in accordance with

SB 342                                                                       
AS 38.06.040(a)(3) and 38.06.050(a) and providing the report                   
required by AS 38.06.070(c), is also being provided to the                     
Legislature with this bill.                                                    
                                                                               
Under the contract, the state will receive a fair value for the royalty        
oil, while promoting in-state processing and petroleum product                 
competition.  Among the economic benefits to Alaska's citizens are             
competitive consumer prices for petroleum products, such as gasoline,          
diesel and jet fuels, and employment of Alaskans at Mapco's North              
Pole refinery.                                                                 
                                                                               
Copies of the commissioner's preliminary finding and the draft                 
contract have been sent to the legislature and made available to the           
public for review.  The commissioner's final finding and the signed            
contract are attached.                                                         
                                                                               
I respect the Legislature's desire to have a direct voice in major             
disposals of royalty oil.  Therefore, although this and previous               
administrations have consistently taken the position the statutory             
requirement of legislative approval of royalty oil contracts is                
unconstitutional, as a matter of comity, I am introducing a bill               
approving and ratifying the contract.  The contract is consistent with         
provisions requiring approval by the Legislature before it takes effect.       
                                                                               
I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this bill.                     
                                                                               
						Sincerely,
