03/12/1997 10:50 AM Senate RLS

                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN KELLY  brought  SJR 20  (MODIFY FED WETLANDS PROGRAM FOR AK         
 NEEDS) before the committee, noting there was a proposed Rules CS             
 for the committee's consideration.                                            
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN  moved adoption of CSSJR 20(RLS).   CHAIRMAN KELLY             
 objected for an explanation of the changes made in the Rules CS.              
  SENATOR LEMAN  explained that an amendment was made to the                   
 legislation in the Senate Resources Committee.  However, because              
 that language was confusing, it has been reworded on page 2, lines            
 21 - 23 of the Rules CS to make it clear that it applies to all               
 lands in Alaska.  SENATOR KELLY removed his objection and stated              
 there being no further objections, CSSJR 20(RLS) was adopted.                 
                                                                               
  SENATOR LEMAN  moved and asked unanimous consent CSSJR 20(RLS) be            
 approved for calendaring at the discretion of the Chair.  Hearing             
 no objection, it was so ordered.                                              
                                                                               
 There being no further business to come before the committee,                 
 Chairman Kelly adjourned the meeting at 10:56 a.m.
