As we engage in today's business let us be true to our                        
convictions and let our convictions be true to Your will.

The Governor's transmittal letter, dated April 22, 1995, appears below:        
                                                                               
"Dear Speaker Phillips:                                                        
                                                                               
Under the authority of art. III, sec. 18, of the Alaska Constitution, I am     
transmitting a bill that provides for legislative approval of a royalty oil

HB 320                                                                       
contract between the state and Tesoro Alaska Petroleum Company for             
the sale of Prudhoe Bay Unit royalty oil.  Also transmitted with this          
bill are copies of the resolution of the Alaska Royalty Oil and Gas            
Development Advisory Board recommending approval of that contract              
in accordance with AS38.06.040(a)(3) and 38.06.050(a), and the report          
required by AS38.06.070(c).                                                    
                                                                               
The contract is described in a final finding issued by the commissioner        
of the Department of Natural Resources on April21, 1995.  A copy of            
the commissioners final finding and the signed contract are attached.          
Copies of the commissioners preliminary finding and the draft contract         
previously were sent to the legislature and made available to the public       
for review.                                                                    
                                                                               
A bill approving the contract is being introduced for legislative              
approval for two reasons.  First, as a matter of comity, I respect the         
legislatures desire to have a direct voice in major disposals of royalty       
oil.  Therefore, although this and previous Administrations have               
consistently taken the position that the statutory requirement of              
legislative approval of royalty oil contracts (AS 38.06.055) is                
unconstitutional, the contract itself contains provisions requiring            
approval by the legislature before it can take effect.                         
                                                                               
Second, this legislation would ratify the royalty oil contract.  This          
ratification would cure any procedural defect that might have occurred         
in the process of entering into this contract.                                 
                                                                               
I urge your prompt consideration and passage of this bill.
