and Veterans' Affairs meeting to order at 1:05:16 PM.
Representatives Buch, Fairclough, LeDoux, and Roses were present
at the call to order.
HJR 11-STATE'S CONTROL OF NATIONAL GUARD
CHAIR ROSES announced that the only order of business would be
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 11, Relating to the increased
authority granted to the President of the United States to
federalize the National Guard of the individual states without
the consent of the governors; and urging the United States
Congress to take action to restore the sovereignty of the
individual states to regulate and command the National Guard of
the states.
1:05:47 PM
JOSH APPLEBEE, Staff to Representative Bob Roses, Alaska State
Legislature, on behalf of Representative Roses, sponsor,
informed the committee that HJR 11 is a statement to the U.S.
Congress and the President of the United States that declares
that State of Alaska does not support relinquishing the control
of its National Guard to presidential authority. The John
Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007
gives the federal government authority over a state's National
Guard in times of natural disaster, epidemic or other serious
public health emergency, or terrorist attack, or incident. The
aforementioned presidential authority to regulate and command
the National Guard was granted without the consent of the
state's governor or its legislature. House Joint Resolution 11
urges the reversal of this action, and its purpose is supported
by the governors of all fifty states.
1:07:41 PM
REPRESENTATIVE LEDOUX moved to report HJR 11 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, HJR 11 was reported out of the
House Special Committee on Military and Veterans' Affairs.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
Special Committee on Military and Veterans' Affairs meeting was
adjourned at 1:08 p.m.
