There being no objection, it appears below: Gracious God, our Heavenly Father, You are from everlasting to everlasting. We behold Your handiwork in the snow- capped surrounding mountains, in the innocent eyes of a little child, and in the uniqueness of each person here. Before You, even the nations rise and fall. Before You, we are like a passing breath. Yet in Your kindness, which we do not merit or deserve, You have given us the gift of this day in the brevity of our lives. As we face issues and decisions save us from the temptation of being short-sighted. Enable us to see the faces of our children, grandchildren, and even of those yet unborn. Then grant us the vision and courage to exercise wise leadership. We confess on our own, we scarcely see one step ahead, but You know all things, even the ending before the beginning. So place the mantel of Your wisdom over our shoulders that we may lead aright. In the Name of Him who came not to be served, but to serve, Jesus Christ. Amen. 2001-03-22 House Journal Page 0676 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Rokeberg.

The Commission on Postsecondary Education and the Alaska Student Loan Corporation have turned the program around -- running it in the black for the first time in history and paying a dividend back to the state. This year the dividend payment is $2.2 million with another $4 million expected for fiscal year 2002. All of this while serving over 90,000 Alaska student loan customers with $615 million in loans. 2001-03-22 House Journal Page 0690 This bill I transmit today establishes the AlaskAdvantage Loan Program, the next step in continuing the growth and financial integrity of the state student loan program. Under this legislation, Alaska would participate in the federal guaranteed student loan program which brings benefits including low interest rates for borrowers and reduced risk to the state through federal loan guarantees. This bill also creates a supplemental loan program to provide financial assistance in the event the AlaskAdvantage Loan is insufficient to cover education costs or the student does not qualify for assistance under the federal guaranteed student loan program. This bill will create a one-stop financial aid information center and financial opportunity, guaranty the lowest possible borrowing rates, streamline aid delivery and reduce financial risk to the State through the federal guarantee. This program will also offer expanded options for borrowers with special needs in loan repayment. At a time when access to quality education is at the forefront of our legislative agenda, I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" HB 205 HOUSE BILL NO. 205 by Representative Fate, entitled: "An Act relating to resource development and to grants for the purpose of promoting resource development from appropriations of a portion of the revenue derived from the extraction of certain state natural resources." was read the first time and referred to the Resources and Finance Committees. 2001-03-22 House Journal Page 0691 HB 206 HOUSE BILL NO. 206 by the House Resources Committee, entitled: "An Act relating to a vessel-based commercial fisheries limited entry system, to management of offshore fisheries, and to the definition of 'person' for purposes of the commercial fisheries entry program; and providing for an effective date." was read the first time and referred to the House Special Committee on Fisheries and the Resources Committee.
