VICE CHAIRMAN TAYLOR called the Senate Resources Committee meeting                                                              
to order at 3:10 p.m. and announced HJR 15 to be up for                                                                         
consideration.                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                
MS. MYRNA MCGHIE, Staff to Representative James, sponsor of HJR 15,                                                             
said it supports Congressman Young's resolution to confirm that                                                                 
Congress approve any land designations to the World Heritage Sites                                                              
and Biosphere Reserve.                                                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR KELLY asked what was the status of Congressman Young's                                                                  
bill.                                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                
MS. MCGHIE answered that it was just introduced on the floor a                                                                  
couple of weeks ago and didn't know if it was in committee yet.                                                                 
This is a second try for it.  Last year it went through Congress,                                                               
but there wasn't time to get it through the Senate side.                                                                        
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR GREEN moved to pass HJR 15 from committee with individual                                                               
recommendations and zero fiscal notes.  There were no objections                                                                
and it was so ordered.
