                                 S. 744

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, today I rise to speak briefly on a bill 
reported out of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on 
May 19, 1999. S. 744 provides for the continuation of higher education 
through the conveyance of certain lands in the State of Alaska to the 
University of Alaska, and for other purposes.
  The purpose of S. 744 is to provide Alaska's federal land grant 
college, the University of Alaska, with a federal land grant of at 
least 250,000 acres. S. 744 would also transfer to the federal 
government 29 inholdings currently owned by the University within 
conservation system units in Alaska.
  When this bill was passed out of Committee it was done so with an 
amendment that clarified the lands the University was to relinquish 
under Section 3 of the bill. Those lands are listed in a document 
entitled ``The University of Alaska's Inholding and Reconveyance 
Document'' and dated May 17, 1999.
  I ask unanimous consent a copy of this document be printed in today's 
Congressional Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
