Kelly,  explained that  the only  change [from  CSHB 87(RES)]  to

pending.   The fiscal  note incorrectly  stated that  this office

a revised fiscal note from DNR  was requested [and is before this

REPRESENTATIVE  HARRIS moved  to accept  the revised  fiscal note

reflects  the fact  that  the office  of  the Citizens'  Advisory                                                               
Commission  on  Federal  Management  Areas  in  Alaska  would  be
