Representatives Nelson and Salmon were absent and their presence was noted later. The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, Adrian Nash, House Page. Representative Dahlstrom moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of Alaskans and all mankind, I offer these words. I ask that we all be comfortable enough with our own faith to understand and respect the beliefs of all people. May Alaska's legislators, along with lawmakers and government officials around the world, find it in themselves to ride the fine line that separates what they believe from what is best for the people they affect, regardless of who they are, what they stand for, or where they live. I also wish for safe travels for these members, their staffs, and their families. Thank you. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Kerttula. 2008-04-13 House Journal Page 2972 MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE HB 44 A message dated April 12, 2008, was read stating the Senate passed: CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 44(FIN) "An Act relating to information from veterans on the permanent fund dividend application form."
