CS FOR SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 16(ARC), Expressing support
for the Arctic Economic Council and the United States Arctic
Economic Council delegation; requesting that the United States
Congress express support for the Arctic Economic Council, for
the chair of the Arctic Economic Council to be a resident of

4:04:03 PM
ROBERT ERVINE, Staff, Representative Johnson, Alaska State

related to the Arctic Economic Council. Amendment 1, he further
explained, also includes a technical conforming title change.

DONALD BULLOCK, Staff, House Majority, Representative Mike

the state on all matters related to and under consideration by
the Arctic Economic Council.
