  REP. PETE KOTT read a sponsor statement which stated that HB
  342 would extend the Alaska Tourism Marketing Council until                  
  December 30, 1998.  Rep. Kott noted that the Council is                      
  charged with promoting the state as a destination and                        
  promote all forms of travel to the state, including travel                   
  by air, highway, and water.                                                  
                                                                               
  REP. KOTT further stated that the Alaska Tourism Marketing                   
  Council plays a substantial part in bringing over $52                        
  million each year to the state of Alaska, and he hoped the                   
  committee would support its extension.
