  SENATOR LEMAN  brought SJR 23 (LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR'S POWERS)                 
  before the committee as the first order of business.                         
                                                                               
  Number 015                                                                   
                                                                               
  JERRY  BURNETT,  aide to  Senator  Randy Phillips,  outlined                 
  changes  made  in   a  proposed   State  Affairs   committee                 
  substitute.   Concern was  expressed at  a previous  hearing                 
  that too much power was being given to one person.                           
                                                                               
  The first change would allow  the impoundment of money  upon                 
  approval by a  majority of the  members of the committee  of                 
  the legislature  designated by law.  The second change would                 
  allow the reversal  of an impoundment  by a majority of  the                 
  committee that approved the impoundment order.                               
                                                                               
  Number 038                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR  LEMAN  asked  for the  pleasure  of  the committee.                 
  Hearing  no  motion,  he stated  SJR  23  would  be held  in                 
  committee for future consideration.
