on the appointments to the Board members, but they try to get

SENATOR KELLY said he didn't have a problem with 2005.                                                                          
                                                                                                                                
SENATOR LEMAN said he didn't have a problem with this particular                                                                
Board, but he wanted to be consistent.

REPRESENTATIVE ROKEBERG said he had no objections to the change,                                                                
but it requires a title change, also.
