prior to reconsideration  on the House floor.  The Senate's position                                                            
was to include  all public corporations  while the House's  position                                                            
was to include  all public corporations except the  Alaska Permanent

REPRESENTATIVE  JAMES asked  why the  word "state,"  in relation  to                                                            
managing  assets, was  removed in  the Halcro amendment  on page  1,                                                            
line 8.                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                
MS. JULI  LUCKY, staff  to Chairman  Halford,  explained that  Terri                                                            
Lauterbach, the legislative  drafter, said that the Attorney General                                                            
believes that  public corporations  have public corporation  assets,                                                            
not state assets.  Ms.  Lauterbach disagrees and believes the assets                                                            
should still be considered  state assets if they are owned by public                                                            
corporations.                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR MILLER  moved to request of  the presiding officers  limited

CO-CHAIRMAN  HALFORD   said  he  would  ask  staff  to  prepare  and
