 CHAIRMAN LEMAN brings up SJR 50 (SUIT RE POWS & MIAS AGAINST U.S.             
 & OTHERS) as the next order of business before the Senate State               
 Affairs Committee and calls the first witness.                                
                                                                               
 Number 390                                                                    
                                                                               
 DAVE THOMPSON, Aide to the Senate Rules Committee, states the                 
 resolution was introduced by the Senate Rules Committee by request.           
 Mr. Thompson says there are two Alaskans who are still missing in             
 action (mia) from the Vietnam War.  There is a companion house                
 resolution, which is stalled.  There is a zero fiscal note.  The              
 American Legion Executive Committee voted unanimously to support              
 passage of this resolution.                                                   
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN asks if there are any questions of Mr. Thompson.               
 Hearing none, he asks if anyone in the audience wishes to testify.            
                                                                               
 Number 407                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR MILLER makes a motion to discharge SJR 50 from the Senate             
 State Affairs Committee with individual recommendations.                      
                                                                               
 CHAIRMAN LEMAN, hearing no objection, orders SJR 50 released from             
 committee with individual recommendations.
