         SB 211 - RENAMING VET MEM BRIDGE IN KETCHIKAN                         
                                                                               
JOE AMBROSE, staff to Senator Taylor, sponsor of SB 211, read the              
sponsor's statement for the record.  SB 211 would rename the                   
proposed bridge across Tongass Narrows at Ketchikan the Ralph M.               
Barholomew Veterans' Memorial Bridge.  Mr. Bartholomew served in               
World War II, served on the Ketchikan school board and planning                
commission, as Borough mayor, and on numerous volunteer                        
organizations.                                                                 
                                                                               
SENATOR LINCOLN asked if the Ketchikan Borough Assembly has                    
endorsed SB 211.  MR. AMBROSE answered the Borough Assembly passed             
a resolution on Monday, but a copy has not been received yet.                  
SENATOR LINCOLN asked that committee members receive a copy of that            
resolution when it arrives.                                                    
                                                                               
SENATOR GREEN moved SB 211 out of committee with individual                    
recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes.  There being no             
objection, the motion carried.
