We stand in the footsteps of men and women who have envisioned the possibilities for this great land. They dared to dream of a better life for Alaska's people and a more efficient use of Alaska's natural resources. They struggled with many of the same issues that still confront us today: education, growth and development, freedom and responsibility, and public assistance to those who are not able to provide minimum services for themselves. Now we have been commissioned by the men and women of this state to help make these dreams become reality. We are faced with some tough decisions on constitutional amendments 1998-04-20 House Journal Page 3106 and budget priorities. Give us the wisdom to see the issues clearly and the energy to evaluate them correctly. Help us to rise above human weakness and petty things that can interfere with good legislation. Bless all those legislative staff people who stand in the wings, helping us to make these dreams come true. Amen." The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Martin.
