 Senator Halford called the meeting of the Committee on                        
 Committees to order at 11:17 a.m.  The purpose of the meeting                 
 was to appoint a new Senate Rules Committee chairman to                       
 replace Senator George Jacko who resigned as its chairman on                  
 January 10, 1994.                                                             
                                                                               
 Number 003                                                                    
                                                                               
 SENATOR TAYLOR moved that Senator Halford be named to replace                 
 Senator Jacko as chairman of the Senate Rules Committee.                      
 SENATOR ZHAROFF objected for the purpose of making a                          
 statement.  He said this was an unprecedented move to have the                
 same person as Senate president and chairman of the Rules                     
 Committee, and that it goes a little beyond the balance of                    
 power when talking about the movement of bills and the                        
 calendaring of activities on the floor.  He then removed his                  
 objection.  SENATOR JACKO commented that this is an                           
 unprecedented era.  Hearing no further objection, SENATOR                     
 HALFORD stated the motion carried and that the committee                      
 report would reflect the change.                                              
                                                                               
 Number 020                                                                    
                                                                               
 There being no further business to come before the Committee                  
 on Committees, the meeting was adjourned at 11:19 a.m.
