           SCR  8 TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL GIRLS' STATE                           
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN GREEN  called the Senate State Affairs Committee to order           
 at 3:37 p.m. and brought up SCR 7 and SCR 8 as the first order of             
 business before the committee.                                                
                                                                               
 Number 015                                                                    
                                                                               
  LORALI MEIER , a legislative intern in the office of Senator Loren           
 Leman, explained Boys' State and Girls' State are week-long                   
 programs that provide high schools with the knowledge of state and            
 local governments.  SCR 7 and SCR 8 recognize the importance of               
 state and local, public and private involvement in these programs             
 in order to make them  successful.  Because SCR 7 and SCR 8                   
 encourage young men and young women to be leaders, Senator Leman              
 believes these exceptional programs deserve the recognition and               
 support of the Legislature.                                                   
                                                                               
 Number 034                                                                    
                                                                               
  SENATOR MACKIE  moved that SCR 7 and SCR 8 be passed out of                  
 committee with individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection,             
 it was so ordered.
