 before the committee as the only order of business.                           
                                                                               
  MELINDA HOFSTAD , staff to Representative Bill Hudson, explained             
 there was a school contest to select a name for the Alaska Marine             
 Highway System's new ferry.  There were a lot of good suggestions             
 and Kennicott was chosen as the winning entry.  She noted there are           
 five other contest applicants who will be given recognition by                
 having their suggested names for the new ferry posted onboard the             
 Kennicott.                                                                    
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN KELLY  asked for a motion on HB 64.                                 
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN  moved that HB 64 be approved for calendaring at the           
 discretion of the Chairman.  Hearing no objection, it was so                  
 ordered.                                                                      
                                                                               
 There being no further business to come before the committee,
