A few moments ago, each Senator pushed the green                              
button to indicate that they are present on this 15th                          
day of March 1999. While this may not seem a                                   
significant vote, it does give occasion to thank You,                          
Lord, for the health and strength to be here and for                           
the privilege of being chosen to serve the people of                           
Alaska.                                        Amen.                           
                                                                               
Senator Ellis led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.                      
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                Certification                                
                                                                               
Senator Mackie moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal              
for the fifty-fifth legislative day be approved as certified by the            
Secretary. Without objection, it was so ordered.
