Governor's transmittal letter dated February 9:                                
                                                                               
Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill making appropriations to satisfy the                  
monetary terms of collective bargaining agreements for certain public          
employees.                                                                     
                                                                               
This bill, if enacted into law, would make a total appropriation of            
$368,630 to satisfy the monetary terms of collective bargaining                
agreements with the Alaska Vocational Technical Center Teachers'               
Association and the Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association.  The             
appropriations are necessary to satisfy agreed-upon obligations under          
those agreements.                                                              
                                                                               
I urge your prompt consideration and passage of the bill.                      
                                                                               
						Sincerely,                                                               
						/s/
