  REP. VEZEY proposed an amendment that would incorporate the                  
  body of a bill he introduced (HB 488) with that of HB 506 as                 
  amended.  He said it dealt with the same chapters of Alaska                  
  statutes.                                                                    
                                                                               
  CHAIR BUNDE interjected and said he assumed Rep. Vezey's                     
  amendment would limit student loans to Alaskan schools only.                 
                                                                               
  REP. VEZEY said yes.                                                         
                                                                               
  CHAIR BUNDE asked if he were interested in pursuing the                      
  issue.                                                                       
                                                                               
  REP. VEZEY asked the pleasure of the committee in regards to                 
  HB 488.                                                                      
                                                                               
  REP. BRICE said he felt that the amendment might hold merit                  
  in certain circumstances, but indicated that he would feel                   
  much more comfortable with back-up information and the                       
  opportunity to debate that specific bill before the                          
  amendment would be made.  He said he opposed the amendment.                  
                                                                               
  Number 262                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIR BUNDE asserted that he would rather address HB 488                     
  separately to allow opportunity for testimony and                            
  discussion.
