 CHAIRMAN TAYLOR introduced  SJR 17  (MAGNUSON FISHERY CONSRV & MGT            
 ACT) as the last order of business before the committee.                      
                                                                               
 SENATOR LITTLE, Prime Sponsor, explained that SJR 17 asks Congress            
 to retain current geographic composition of the North Pacific                 
 Fishery Council.  Alaska needs to retain its designated seats on              
 that council.  She noted the changes that the new CS encompasses:             
 changes "will" to "may" on page 2, line 4 of the resolution, and              
 five names were added to the list of the copies of the resolution.            
 She pointed out the position paper in the committee packets.  She             
 urged favorable consideration of the committee.                               
                                                                               
 RICHARD LAUBER stated support for SJR 17.                                     
                                                                               
 SENATOR LITTLE moved SJR 17 out of committee with individual                  
 recommendations.  Hearing no objections, it was so ordered.
