"Our Father we stand before You today with confidence knowing                 
You hear us when we pray.  We thank You for all the                            
accomplishments You have enabled us to execute this past year.                 
We thank You for Your protection and safety upon our                           
government leaders.                                                            
                                                                               
Now Lord You have brought us into a new year, with all of its                 
challenges and concerns, its failures and victories.  And as we                
approach this new session as representatives of this great state of            
Alaska, we ask You for Divine guidance in all our decision                     
making.  The agenda that confronts us is awesome, but we also                  
know that You are an awesome God, and with You `all things are                 
possible.'"

Would You help us as leaders to open men and women's eyes that                
they may turn themselves from darkness to light.

"Dear Speaker Barnes:

I would like to outline for the Legislature policy and budget matters          
that lie before us.  We can then proceed with our work as

"Dear Speaker Barnes:                                                          
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am     
transmitting an Executive Order relating to the transfer of                    
responsibility for adventure-based education from the Department of            
Community and Regional Affairs to the Department of Health and                 
Social Services.                                                               
                                                                               
Adventure-based education programs have shown considerable success             
as an effective tool to instill positive values and an increased sense of      
responsibility and self-worth in some at-risk, troubled, or delinquent         
juveniles.  The transfer of this program to the Department of Health           
and Social Services will provide an additional treatment option for            
some of these youth.                                                           
                                                                               
My Administration is committed to providing a full spectrum of                 
services to children and youth who, for whatever reason, come into             
contact with law enforcement or social service agencies of the state.          
My goal is to see that each and every individual is treated                    
appropriately given his or her circumstances.

To achieve that goal, I have supported implementation of a family              
centered services model in the division of family and youth services.          
The adventure-based program represents one small but useful piece in           
the continuum of services and sanctions we must have in place to meet          
the challenges the youth of today pose to our juvenile justice system.

"Dear Speaker Barnes:                                                          
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am     
transmitting an Executive Order relating to the enforcement of size,           
weight, and load standards for vehicles operating on the state highway         
system and to the authority to issue overweight or oversize vehicle            
permits.                                                                       
                                                                               
The Order transfers, from the Department of Commerce and Economic              
Development (DCED) to the Department of Transportation and Public              
Facilities (DOT/PF), the authority to enforce vehicle size, weight, and        
load standards and to issue permits that allow the operation of                
overweight or oversize vehicles on the state highway system.  Under            
existing statutory authority found in AS19.10.060, DOT/PF has the              
duty to adopt standards governing the size, weight, and load of                
vehicles operating on the state highway system; this is consistent with        
its duty to manage, operate, and maintain the state highway system             
under AS44.42.020.  However, DOT/PF is denied the ability to fully             
perform these statutory duties because it has neither the authority to         
enforce size, weight, and load standards, nor the authority to issue           
permits that allow exceptions from those standards.                            
                                                                               
The enforcement of vehicle size, weight, and load standards is                 
presently accomplished, in part, through weighing stations operated by         
DCED at strategic locations along the state highway system.                    
Operation of these weighing stations would transfer to DOT/PF on the           
effective date of the Order.                                                   
                                                                               
In issuing overweight and oversize vehicle permits, DCED consults              
with and obtains the concurrence of DOT/PF because DCED does not               
have the expertise necessary to interpret and apply the sometimes              
technical and complex DOT/PF standards under which the permits                 
must be issued.  Transferring overweight and oversize vehicle                  
permitting to DOT/PF would place that function in the agency best              
equipped to perform the function.                                              
                                                                               
The enforcement of vehicle size, weight, and load standards is an              
integral part of the operation and management of the state highway             
system.  By integrating the management functions for the state                 
highway system as contemplated by the Order, DOT/PF will be able

to more effectively manage the state highway system.  The result is            
that state highways will be better protected, at no increase in cost, with     
better service to the traveling public.

"Dear Speaker Barnes:                                                          
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 23, of the Alaska Constitution, I am     
transmitting an Executive Order relating to the Alaska Science and             
Technology Foundation (ASTF) and the science and engineering                   
advisory commission.

EO 90                                                                        
The Order transfers the ASTF from the Department of Revenue to the             
Department of Commerce and Economic Development.  The purpose                  
of this transfer is to integrate the state's science and technology            
activities within the state agency responsible for the comprehensive           
economic development of the State of Alaska.                                   
                                                                               
The Order also eliminates the science and engineering advisory                 
commission (located in the Office of the Governor) and consolidates            
its functions and duties with those of the ASTF.  The ASTF has the             
knowledge and the resources to serve in an advisory capacity to the            
governor and the legislature as well as to perform the original                
functions of the foundation.                                                   
                                                                               
These two transfers will serve to streamline the state's commitment to         
the development of resources through the application of science and            
technology.  Given budget constraints, the elimination of somewhat             
duplicative efforts also will improve the efficiency of government.
