 WALT WILCOX, staff to Representative Jeannette James, explained the           
 resolution shows support for the military in Alaska and further               
 demonstrates appreciation of their policy of involving and                    
 informing the public of military activities.  Specifically, it                
 thanks the military for involving the public in the preparation of            
 an environmental impact statement.                                            
                                                                               
 Number 030                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR directed attention to an amendment to page 2, line             
 3, adding the phrase "endorses the proposal of the United State Air           
 Force and."  Mr. Wilcox stated that Representative James endorses             
 the amendment.                                                                
                                                                               
 Number 050                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR JACKO asked for an explanation of the issue of                        
 environmental concern for the air space.  MR. WILCOX related that             
 military has an experimental area up toward Fort Yukon all the way            
 down to Talkeetna where they are overflying experimental aircraft             
 and doing bombing test missions.  They have involved the public for           
 input into what they are doing as far as noise levels and the                 
 impact on the various communities within the area.                            
                                                                               
 Number 095                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR JACKO moved the adoption of the following amendment:                  
                                                                               
                                                                               
 Page 2, line 3:  After "Legislature" insert "endorses the proposal            
                 of the United States Air Force and"                           
                                                                               
 SENATOR LITTLE objected.  There was debate among committee members            
 on whether inserting the word "endorses" means that the Legislature           
 would be endorsing the proposal or whether it would be endorsing              
 the environmental impact statement.  Senator Little maintained her            
 objection, and a roll call vote was taken with the following                  
 result:  Senators Taylor, Jacko voted "Yea" and Senators Donley and           
 Little voted "Nay."  The Chairman stated the motion failed.                   
                                                                               
 Number 224                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR asked for the pleasure of the committee.                       
 SENATOR JACKO moved that HCR 29 am be passed out of committee with            
 individual recommendations.  Hearing no objection, it was so                  
 ordered.
