WITNESS REGISTER  None ACTION NARRATIVE No recording available Number 001 CHAIRWOMAN LYDA GREEN called the Senate Health, Education & Social Services Committee meeting to order at 3:01 p.m. Senators Leman, Wilken, Davis and Green were present. She announced that the resumes of those people up for confirmation were distributed to members at an earlier date and, unless a member requests to interview one of them, her intent was to forward the names to the full body for a vote. SENATOR LEMAN noted that he had reservations about some of the names on the list but would not take the matter up at this time. He then moved to report the list of names to the full body for consideration in a joint session. There being no objection, the motion carried. CHAIRWOMAN GREEN announced that the committee would hear Senator Davis's bill on psychotropic drugs [SB 230] the following day at 1:30 p.m. in the Fahrenkamp Room. There being no further business to come before the committee, she adjourned the meeting at 3:05 p.m.
