   My legislative office will be moving to Juneau for the 2004 legislative session. Our office will start packing in mid-December and by late December our computers will be on their way to Juneau. Please don't hesitate to call, though, as the office will be staffed until we leave for Juneau (early January 2004). The legislative session starts on January 12th. My telephone in Juneau is (907) 465-4968.

Best regards,

Norman Rokeberg
