       B.    Governor Wallace Wilkinson and General Assembly Recognized

       Mr. Sturgill gave praise to Governor Wallace Wilkinson and the
General Assembly for enacting the education reform package and its
funding mechanism. In his opinion, it has laid the groundwork that
will be beneficial in educating the young people of the state for the
high technology of the Twenty-first Century. While the education
reform package is designed primarily for elementary and secondary
education, higher education fared well, and more importantly the
University of Kentucky fared well. He stated that the Board needs to
display its appreciation for the statesmanship and leadership that
Governor Wilkinson and the General Assembly displayed in forging the
document implementing the financing for Governor Wilkinson's
educational reform package. He made a motion that a resolution
commending Governor Wilkinson and the General Assembl.y be prepared and
sent to them at an early date to show the University's appreciation of
their efforts. The motion, seconded by Mrs. Hayes, carried
unanimously.
