Dear Heavenly Father,                                                         
                                                                               
I love You and magnify You and worship You, for                               
it is You who sets up kingdoms and powers and                                  
governments.  I acknowledge that You are indeed in                             
control and ask that You would help us.                                        
                                                                              
Your word says if we lack wisdom we should ask                                
You and You will give it to us, so we ask.  Give                               
guidance and direction and give leadership ability to                          
these men and women today.  I also ask for                                     
physical strength and protection as they go about                              
their daily activities.                                                        
                                                                               
It's in the name of Jesus that we pray.      Amen.

Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution,          
I am transmitting a bill making a supplemental appropriation to the            
Department of Law for costs and expenses related to certain oil and            
gas legal proceedings.  Due to the urgent need for this supplemental           
appropriation, the bill has an immediate effective date, and I urge            
your early consideration of this important bill.                               
                                                                               
The supplemental appropriation of $15,950,000 is essential for the             
state to stay on track in its important oil and gas legal proceedings.         
Several of these proceedings are scheduled for trial or formal                 
administrative hearings in the near future.  Continued diligent                
preparation is necessary for the successful resolution of these                
complex matters, which could bring millions of dollars into the state          
treasury.                                                                      
                                                                               
This supplemental appropriation is needed to process the millions of           
documents to be collected and produced, to review documents                    
supplied by adversaries, to hire experts, to conduct and defend                
depositions, and to do other essential litigation preparation.  Without

the early enactment of this supplemental request, the Department of            
Law may be forced to slow its litigation at the most crucial pretrial          
or prehearing period and could fail to meet deadlines imposed by the           
court or administrative agencies for resolution of those disputes.  An         
appropriation is also necessary to keep an audit of the TransAlaska            
Pipeline System (TAPS) on schedule so that the findings may be                 
used to contest tariffs.                                                       
                                                                               
We all agree that the resolution of these long-standing oil and gas            
disputes is in the state's best interest, especially now when our              
revenue forecasts show declining receipts for the near future.  The            
supplemental appropriation will help maintain the momentum and                 
progress that we have all achieved in resolving such matters and in            
gaining additional revenue for the state.                                      
                                                                               
The Department of Law originally requested $25,000,000 for oil and             
gas legal proceedings for Fiscal Year 1994.  The legislature                   
appropriated only $10,358,400 of that request.  The supplemental               
appropriation request, if granted, would bring the total appropriations        
for these matters to $26,308,400.                                              
                                                                               
I urge your early consideration and passage of this important                  
legislation.

Governor's transmittal letter dated February 9:                                
                                                                               
Dear Mr. President:                                                            
                                                                               
Under authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am         
transmitting a bill which makes miscellaneous supplemental                     
appropriations for fiscal year 1994 and prior years.  The legislation          
also reallocates current year funding in order to offset some of the           
projected shortfalls.                                                          
                                                                               
Supplemental appropriations in recent years have reached the $100              
million level.  My goal this year was to keep supplementals below              
the $40 million level and I am pleased that we have done this.                 
Nearly all the requested supplementals are for purposes not within             
the control of management.  Caseloads continue to increase in                  
medical assistance programs and Longevity Bonus.  Student                      
enrollment at schools throughout the state continue to climb.  Fires           
break out which the state must fight to protect the life and property          
of Alaskans.  The state must respond to court ordered settlements              
and grievance awards.  We cannot pretend these costs are not there,            
nor can we turn away from meeting these responsibilities.                      
                                                                               
We continue to live in times of tight revenues.  I look forward to             
working with you on completing a sound financial plan for our                  
state's future.                                                                
                                                                               
Additional information relating to these requests will be furnished to         
the Finance Committees by the Office of Management and Budget.
