alter  references to  federal statutes,  and their  inclusion may                                                               
inadvertently result in  a substantive change to  Alaska law, and                                                               
this is not the intent of  the revisor's bill.  The statutes that

REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL concurred that it  would be better to have
