CHAIRMAN KELLY called the Senate Rules Committee meeting to order              
at 11:15 a.m., and noted all members were present.                             
                                                                               
The first order of business was consideration of a professional                
services contract for Larry Norman Carson in the amount of $18,200.            
CHAIRMAN KELLY explained the contract is for providing the                     
Legislature with armed security services from January 6, 1997 until            
one day following the adjournment of the regular session.  The                 
contract is basically the same contract as year, with the exception            
that Mr. Carson was put on staff a week earlier so that he could               
attend the legislative orientation sessions.                                   
                                                                               
SENATOR TAYLOR moved approval of the sole source contract for Larry            
Norman Carson, dba Carson and Associates, in the amount of $18,200.            
Hearing no objection, CHAIRMAN KELLY stated the sole source                    
contract was approved.                                                         
                                                                               
                                                                               
CHAIRMAN KELLY brought SJR 7 (AK NAT'L GUARD YOUTH CORPS CHALLENGE             
PROG) before the committee as the final order of business.                     
                                                                               
SENATOR TAYLOR moved SJR 7 be approved for calendaring at the                  
Chair's discretion.  Hearing no objection, it was so ordered.                  
                                                                               
There being no further business to come before the committee, the              
meeting was adjourned at 11:17 a.m.
