The purpose of the council is to provide for planning and coordination                                                          
of services to victims of domestic violence or sexual assault or to their                                                       
families and to perpetrators of domestic violence and sexual assault                                                            
and to provide for crisis intervention and prevention programs. Since                                                           
domestic violence pervades all sectors of our society, including our                                                            
military forces, the input of a person with an understanding of the                                                             
challenges those in the military face would assist the council's work.                                                          
With this change, we will continue to work together to eliminate                                                                
domestic violence and sexual assault in this state.                                                                             
                                                                                                                                
I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
