  Chairman Rieger  requested that  a committee  member make  a                 
  motion to  authorize the  chairman to  introduce legislation

  the chairman be authorized to introduce legislation.                         
                                                                               
  Number 019                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR DUNCAN questioned what the  procedure would be.   He                 
  asked if  the chairman intends to review  the proposed bills                 
  by  the  committee  members  to  see  if  there  are  strong                 
  objections or resistance.   CHAIRMAN  RIEGER indicated  that                 
  the process would be courteous and he would review the bills                 
  with the committee members whenever possible.                                
                                                                               
  Hearing no objection  to Senator Sharp's  motion, it was  so                 
  ordered.                                                                     
                                                                               
  Number 048                                                                   
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN RIEGER indicated that there would be a Joint Senate

  have been referred to  the committee.  He indicated  that he                 
  would like  to  hear from  committee members  as to  whether                 
  there  is an  interest  in  having  them appear  before  the                 
  committee.    Chairman Rieger  indicated  that the  Board of                 
  Regents is planning  to be in Juneau and a  hearing could be                 
  scheduled.                                                                   
                                                                               
  Chairman Rieger  also  noted on  January  29, the  Board  of                 
  Education asked to  appear before the  committee to give  an                 
  overview of the "Alaska 2000" issues.                                        
                                                                               
  Chairman  Rieger discussed  legislation and the  process for                 
  scheduling bills in the committee.                                           
                                                                               
  Number 125                                                                   
                                                                               
  SENATOR SALO asked  how the  Chairman how he  plans to  hear                 
  legislation that  will be  coming forward  from the  "Alaska                 
  2000."   Chairman Rieger said  it is his  initial impression                 
  that the "Alaska 2000" proposals  would be handled issue  by                 
  issue.  He noted  he envisions the same approach  for health                 
  care issues.                                                                 
                                                                               
  Number 135                                                                   
                                                                               
  Chairman  Rieger adjourned the Senate HESS Committee meeting                 
  at 1:52 p.m.
