HJR 19-BASE F-35 AIRCRAFT AT EIELSON OR JBER  10:14:37 AM CHAIR DYSON announced that HJR 19 is before the committee. 10:14:42 AM REPRESENTATIVE DOUG ISAACSON, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, said he appreciated having the opportunity to bring HJR 19 before the committee. He said HJR 19 is very similar to one that the Senate had already passed out with unanimous support. REPRESENTATIVE ISAACSON set forth that HJR 19 is a very important bill to Alaska's economy and security. He noted that HJR 19 is identical to SJR 14 and had minimal amendments that did not change the purpose of the resolution. He noted that page 3, line 13, "and all bases in Alaska" was added. He called attention to page 3, line 14, "on all bases in Alaska" was added. He pointed out the inclusion on page 3, line 21; that copies are to be sent to Lieutenant General Russell J. Handy. He reiterated the Senate unanimously passed SJR 14, but noted the addition of two items that addresses the closure of Flint Hills Refinery and support from the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce. He explained that the Flint Hills Refinery closure will not affect the military jet fuel supply. He detailed that Petro Star has the contract for military jet fuels. He noted that encouragement has been given to Petro Star to have a railroad spur that can go to JBER to supply jet fuels and mitigate some of the negative results from Flint Hills' closure.
