O Thou God! Manifest and make evident the signs of Thy oneness which have been deposited in all the realities of life. Reveal and unfold the virtues which Thou hast made latent and concealed in these human realities. O God! We are as plants, and Thy bounty is as the rain; refresh and cause these plants to grow through Thy bestowal. We are Thy servants; free us from the fetters of material existence. We are ignorant; make us wise. We are dead; make us alive. We are material; endow us with spirit. We are deprived; make us the intimates of Thy mysteries. We are needy; enrich and bless us from Thy boundless treasury. O God! Resuscitate us; give us sight; give us hearing; 1998-05-07 House Journal Page 3596 familiarize us with the mysteries of life, so that the secrets of Thy kingdom may become revealed to us in this world of existence and we may confess Thy oneness. Every bestowal emanates from Thee; every benediction is Thine. Thou art mighty. Thou art powerful. Thou art the Giver, and Thou art the Ever-Bounteous." The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Hanley. CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Porter moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 115th legislative day be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk. There being no objection, it was so ordered. MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR HB 380 The following letter, dated May 6, 1998, was received: "Dear Speaker Phillips: Under authority of art. II, sec. 15 of the Alaska Constitution, I have vetoed the following bill: SENATE CS FOR CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 380(FIN) am S "An Act relating to a temporary reduction of royalty on oil and gas produced for sale from certain fields described as being located within the Cook Inlet sedimentary basin, as having been discovered before January 1, 1988, and as having been undeveloped or shut in from at least January 1, 1988, through December 31, 1997." I have vetoed this bill because it violates the two fundamental principles necessary to protect the state's interest as contained in current state law. It grants arbitrary relief from lease terms without a thorough evaluation of the economic need for the relief, and it does not allow the state to adjust these royalties upward should oil prices rise during the life of the reduction. 1998-05-07 House Journal Page 3597 HB 380 I must also note 50 percent of the royalties from these fields would go into the principal of the Permanent Fund. A royalty reduction unwarranted by market conditions and allowing no adjustments for increased prices shortchanges Alaskans' Permanent Fund. A successful partnership between industry and the state means providing economic incentives when necessary and sharing in benefits, including those that were unanticipated. This bill reduces Alaska's oil royalty for six specific fields in Cook Inlet without knowing whether those reductions are necessary. The provisions in this bill are not required to promote sound oil and gas development in Cook Inlet, have not been carefully considered, and are not an example of "doing it right." Three years ago, the Legislature approved my proposal to allow for modification of state oil and gas leases "for production that would not otherwise be economically feasible." That law, now contained in AS 38.05.180(j), is the method the state should use to provide development incentives because it requires an in-depth economic analysis of leases and protects the state by adjusting royalty upward if the price of oil and gas should increase after the modification. This Administration developed the current law with thorough analysis, long and hard negotiations, and extensive public debate. That level of analysis, especially by the Department of Natural Resources, the state agency with expertise in this area, has not been undertaken in these Cook Inlet cases because no data was provided to do so. The resurgence in exploration and development in Alaska is based on a favorable business climate and new technology to drive down the costs of exploration, development, and production. We have the adequate tools to encourage development and protect the state's interest without arbitrarily giving away the state's resources. Sincerely, /s/ Tony Knowles Governor" 1998-05-07 House Journal Page 3598 **The presence of Representative Mulder was noted. SB 211 A message dated May 6, 1998, was read stating the Governor has signed the following bill and is transmitting the engrossed and enrolled copies to the Lieutenant Governor's office for permanent filing: SENATE BILL NO. 211 "An Act renaming the Gravina Veterans' Memorial Bridge as the Ralph M.
